One Step Closer

He came home with lipstick, lies, and liquor on his lips

Bringing home that kind of sin can sink relationships

He's gonna learn his lesson, he's gonna learn it well

Now I'm one step closer to Hell

I poured him another drink, two can play this game

Like I handed him a shovel to let him dig a deeper grave

In my mind I'm coming up with stories I could tell

Now I'm two steps closer to Hell

Whiskey causes anger and anger made a fist

His fist flew off the handle, I thought I could handle it

Makeup covers bruises and bruises heal with time

This time he's the victim and I commit the crime

I helped him stumble to the couch and offered him a light

It's the least that I could do since this would be our final fight

I told him those cigarettes would be bad for his health

Now I'm three steps closer to Hell

Whiskey causes anger and anger made a fist

His fist flew off the handle, I thought I could handle it

Makeup covers bruises and bruises heal with time

This time he's the victim and I commit the crime

Our trailer made the front page of the Jefferson Gazette

Police investigation ruled the fire an accident

We both know who's guilty, only one of us can tell

Now I'm four steps closer

His Marlboro turned to smoke and smoke turned into flames

Flames consumed my problems and my problems went away

Makeup covers bruises and bruises heal with time

This time he's the victim and I commit the crime, yeah

I might not get to Heaven, Heaven knows that I'll sleep well

'Cause I'm one step closer and I'll see his ass in Hell
