[Verse 1]

On the road down from Mexico

Ain't got a place, got a place to go

Sold my soul for a package deal

Hundred more miles to the Goldenseal

[Chorus]

But the first step is always the hardest

And the second one is always the first

And the thrill of success is the purest

(Shoot to kill)

[Verse 2]

On the road down to Tennessee

Ain’t got a place, got a place for me

Grew up dreaming of Virginia Reel

Now we dance to the sound of their stainless steel

[Chorus]

But the first step is always the hardest

And the second one is always the first

And the thrill of success is the purest

But the eyes that behold you are cursed

And you can't quite make it

But you're not about to fake it

Don’t you know you're left on your own?

(Shoot to kill)

[Saxophone Solo]

[Chorus]

But the first step is always the hardest

And the second one is always the first

And the thrill of success is the purest

But the eyes that behold you are cursed

And you can't quite make it

But you're not about to fake it

Don't you know you're left on your own?

But the first step is always the hardest

And the second one is always the first

And the thrill of success is the purest

But the eyes that behold you are cursed

And you can't quite make it

But you're not about to fake it

Don’t you know you’re left on your own?

[Outro]

And you can't quite make it

But you’re not about to fake it

Don't you know you dance all alone?
