One Step Closer
Bill Clapham/ Christine Campbell © 2008
Once upon a time, that’s how it began
A white horse and you is where it ends
Such a fool with too much faith
My soul mate would ride me away
Into the sunset, I had no doubt
Cause that’s how all fairy tales turn out
Just got me one step closer to gettin’ over you
He appeared; stars filled my eyes
So cute; the perfect guy
Swept away in a pick-up truck
Had to be my one true love
Lost myself in the clouds
While he was out messin’ around
Now I’m one step closer to gettin’ over you
New horse rode into town
Kinda wild; I loved his sound
A guitar man is what I need
Instantly went weak in the knees
But more than me, he loved his beer
Not Prince Charming, that was clear
Just one step closer to gettin' over you
Then I ran into a sweet old flame
Chemistry was still the same
This is it; a love that's true
Riding up; straight into view
It turns out he had a wife
Be a mistress, not my style
Just one step closer to gettin' over you
It's been an adventure believing in you
Had some fun; learned a lot too
The perfect man lives in fairy tales
Lost in the woods without a trail
He doesn't drive a pick-up truck
Has no wife and he's not a drunk
Gotta face the fact and get over you
'Cause there's no white horse
And sadly no you
