[Intro] Bartender, keep that change Piano man, don't you dare behave I came in looking for one good song Now look what you started, turn it on [Verse 1] Walked through the doors with my hat pulled low Fresh pressed shirt and a dangerous glow She looked me over like she knew my past I said, pretty lady, I can learn real fast Piano went banging, the floorboards shook She stole my hat with a sideways look I talked real slick, she laughed out loud Now we're cutting a circle through the whole damn crowd [Pre Chorus] One step forward, let the heel come down Two steps sideways, spin it around That little piano got a whole lot to say And I ain't leaving till the break of day [Chorus] Two steppin' with a bad reputation Boot heels banging like a town wide celebration She got that smile, I got that nerve We're tearing up the floor on a dangerous curve Two steppin' with a bad reputation Whole room caught in the same temptation If you came here to sit, better change your plan There's a wild little rhythm in this honky tonk man [Verse 2] She said, can you dance or you just talk tall? I said, watch me work when the fiddle starts to call She spun me once, nearly knocked me clean Off my feet and out of my seventeen dreams I caught that beat with a shoulder roll Bass hit hard like a runaway load Now the whole room's shouting when we cross that floor And she's pulling me back like she wants one more [Pre Chorus] One step forward, let the heel come down Two steps sideways, spin it around That little piano got a whole lot to say And I ain't leaving till the break of day [Chorus] Two steppin' with a bad reputation Boot heels banging like a town wide celebration She got that smile, I got that nerve We're tearing up the floor on a dangerous curve Two steppin' with a bad reputation Whole room caught in the same temptation If you came here to sit, better change your plan There's a wild little rhythm in this honky tonk man [Breakdown] Piano hit Boot heel crack Bass rolls in Bring it right back Spin her once Let her laugh Whole room jumping on the backbeat snap [Bridge] I might forget what I came here for Might lose my hat by the swinging door But if she asks me for another dance I'm saying yes before she gets the chance [Final Chorus] Two steppin' with a bad reputation Boot heels banging like a town wide celebration She got that smile, I got that nerve We're tearing up the floor on a dangerous curve Two steppin' with a bad reputation Whole room caught in the same temptation If you came here to sit, better change your plan There's a wild little rhythm in this honky tonk man [Outro] Bartender, keep that change We're staying till they kill the stage
