Folk - Country - Jazz - Pop
A broad range of genres and production values - from studio work to raw live performances on acoustic instruments back in the days of killer tape hiss. (All were produced as song demos vs artist demos.) IF YOU'RE A LYRIC FAN, click on the "full" or "full song info" line and play the songs from there. That way you can read the lyrics at the bottom of the page as the song plays. I am guilty of all the words, music, arrangements, production, and male vocals. Fortunately, for both you AND me, friends handled the female vocals. (Thanks Leanne, Bodra, Dianne, & Roxanne!) See ya out there!

Lyrics
TAKE A STEP Young boy takes his very first steps Young mom gets a welfare cheque Young dad in the bar buying beers Doesn’t care that the mom’s in tears Young fire in their loins that night So long ago in their young, young lives Never dreaming that the seed might grow Add the days up, what do you know, it’s a boy Take a step, baby step A momma step and a daddy step, too Take a step but don’t forget That you own every move you make Take a step, baby step A momma step and a daddy step, too Take a step but don’t forget That you own every heart you break Young man doing well in school Young mom thinks he’s oh so cool On her own now, young dad’s gone They’re better off, he was oh so wrong Young man’s gonna graduate Young mom thinks her heart might break Working two jobs but she don’t mind She doesn’t care ‘bout her wrinkles and lines, that’s her boy! Take a step, baby step A momma step and a daddy step, too Take a step but don’t forget That you own every move you make Take a step, baby step A momma step and a daddy step, too Take a step but don’t forget That you own every heart you break Old man takes a fearful step If he falls he can break his hip All alone in a cheap hotel Just a thin wall away from hell Looking back on his sad, sad life Was a time that he had a wife Lovely girl with his fine young son Such a fool when he cut and run like a boy Take a step, baby step A momma step and a daddy step, too Take a step but don’t forget That you own every move you make Take a step, baby step A momma step and a daddy step, too Take a step but don’t forget That you own every heart you break ©2010 Van Clayton Powel vcpowel@gmail.com
