Steppin
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You said you were leavin
And I said go on
I don't know exactly what it is
But something went wrong
It wasn't for nothing
It made a sad rhyme
I'm sorry I saw you
I meant to stay blind
And I'm gonna go out steppin' with my new man tonight
Gonna go out steppin' with my new man tonight
If my mother should ask me where you've gone
Gonna tell her that you joined the Marines
And she'll say c'mon
And then she'll start laughing
And so will I
I'm glad that I'm laughing
It's a good way to die
And I'm gonna go out steppin' with my new man tonight
Gonna go out steppin' with my new man tonight
When I finish my laundry and air out my head
Gonna look for another long-haired man to help me make my bed
You know that I'll miss you, but, strangely I'm glad
Gonna make it without you
And that's what's so sad
Gonna make it alone and that's what sad
Gonna make it alone and that's what sad
'Cause you know that I'll miss you
But strangely I'm glad
Gonna make it alone
And that's what's so sad
