Steppin’ Out

Downtown girls take a look at me
They slap their thighs cause they know I'm free
I curse their styles and their sacramental smiles
My love's not lost in thieves

I can feel the blood pumping through my veins
A vision burning bright inside
Hard-luck schemes spurred by ordinary dreams
Pass me like a spectre in the night

Steppin' out, steppin' out, steppin' out
For a little while
They don't know what I'm saying
They don't know what I'm praying for
Steppin' out, steppin' out, steppin' out
For a little while

And itsn't it a shame
How the music lost again
The power of the promise we made
Got blown out in the din

Sentimental thoughts from a hard rock kid
Trying to perceive the damage done
Well I got two hands and the courage of a man
Who wants to carve his name in the sun

Steppin' out, steppin' out, steppin' out
For a little while
They don't know what I'm saying
They don't know what I'm praying for
Steppin' out, steppin' out, steppin' out
For a little while
Hey Lord I'm reaching up to ya
Touch me or I'm just another crooner
This love's gonna be written down in history

Steppin' out, steppin' out, steppin' out
For a little while
