*Stepping Out*

(Verse 1)

He's been gone for a long time

But still she can't let go.

Her mind fills with questions,

about things she would rather not know.

She stares down at her ring.

The promise feels like a curse.

She jerks it off her finger

and flings it in her purse.

Everything she does- reminds her of those times again.

She just wants to get her thoughts off of him.

(Chorus)

The weekend has come.

It's time to relax.

There is no reason to worry

about the things in the past.

Friday night is her moment,

She is stepping out.

She will let go of her inhibitions

and learn to scream and shout.

Whiskey and vodka aren't a good mix

but when she drinks long enough

They are a temporary fix.

When Monday comes- life will resume

but tonight she's stepping outto drink away the blues.

(Verse 2)

She puts on her black dress.

She hasn't worn it in years.

As she looks in the mirror,

her eyes fill with tears.

She brushes her hair

and pins back the gray.

She paints on her makeup

and pretends its okay.

Time has been hard on her.

She wishes she was pretty again

She chokes back the memories

and forces a grin.

(Chorus)

The weekend has come.

It's time to relax.

There is no reason to worry

about the things in the past.

Friday night is her moment,

She is stepping out.

She will let go of her inhibitions

and learn to scream and shout.

Whiskey and vodka aren't a good mix

but when she drinks long enough

They are a temporary fix.

When Monday comes- life will resume

but tonight she's stepping outto drink away the blues.

(Verse 3)

The bills are piling up.

She feels so behind.

No matter what she does,

things won't leave her mind.

She can't help but wonderwhere she went wrong

and why she was blindedfor so long.

She knows more than anything, she needs to get away

or else this worrying will put her in an early grave.

The kids are at the sitters

and there is gas in the car.

It's time to take some me time

down at the local bar.

(Chorus)

The weekend has come.

It's time to relax.

There is no reason to worry

about the things in the past.

Friday night is her moment,

She is stepping out.

She will let go of her inhibitions

and learn to scream and shout.

Whiskey and vodka aren't a good mix

but when she drinks long enough

They are a temporary fix.

When Monday comes- life will resume

but tonight she's stepping outto drink away the blues.
