The First Step Lyrics - Tracy Byrd

The lights were hot and the beer was not 

And the band was playin' loud 

The house was full but her eyes pulled me 

Right across the crowd 

And I said "How's a guy like me 

To get to know you?" 

She said "Not so fast 

Let me show you" 

She said "The first step is the two-step 

I'm here to dance and nothing more 

Swing me 'round that hardwood floor 

If you want to run with me, crawl before you walk 

But the first step is the two-step then we'll talk" 

We sang along with every song 

And the room was spinnin' 'round 

We danced in line, she felt so fine 

And we hardly hit the ground 

So I said "Maybe 

We could make a reservation 

For some wine 

With candlelight and conversation" 

She said "The first step is the two-step 

I'm here to dance and nothing more 

Swing me 'round that hardwood floor 

If you want to run with me, crawl before you walk 

But the first step is the two-step then we'll talk 

Well first things first, let's two-step, then we'll talk"
