Two Steps from the Levee

Verse 1

Woke up to a train whistle blowing

Dog on the porch won't quit his hollerin'

Mama left a note on the mirror

Said baby don't you come home late

Rode the old truck down to Beale

Motor coughing like a smoker

Spent five hours with a stranger

Talking about nothing

till the sun went down [Pre-Chorus]

Maybe I'm a fool for trying

Maybe I'm a fool for staying

Maybe I'm a fool for loving you

Chorus

Lord I'm two steps from the levee

Two steps from the levee tonight

Lord I'm two steps from the levee

And I ain't got nowhere to land

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh call me home

Oh-oh call me home

Verse 2

Maggie works the corner diner

Pours her patience in a paper cup

Told me girl you better straighten

Or the river gonna swallow you up

Pre-Chorus

Maybe I'm a fool for trying

Maybe I'm a fool for staying

Maybe I'm a fool for loving you

Chorus

Lord I'm two steps from the levee

Two steps from the levee tonight

Lord I'm two steps from the levee

And I ain't got nowhere to land

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh call me home

Oh-oh call me home

Bridge

Told my brother I was leaving

Told my brother I was fine

Told my brother keep the banjo

He just laughed and poured the wine

Guitar Solo

Chorus

Lord I'm two steps from the levee

Two steps from the levee tonight

Lord I'm two steps from the levee

And I ain't got nowhere to land

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh call me home

Oh-oh call me home

Oh-oh call me home

Oh-oh call me home
