Steppin'

(album: Gather Me - 1971)

You said you were leaving
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 stepping with my new man tonight
Gonna go out stepping 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 stepping with my new man tonight
Gonna go out stepping 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
