    Lyrics:
    It's the same thing night on night
    Who's wrong, baby? Who's right?
    Another fight and I slam the door on
    Another battle in our dirty little war
    When I look at myself I don't see
    The man I wanted to be
    Somewhere along the line I slipped off track
    I'm caught movin' one step up and two steps back

    This is a song Bruce wrote when his marriage to Julianne Phillips was going south. They ended up divorcing a year later. What's haunting is that his future wife Patti Scialfa is singing backup. They had an affair and Bruce owned up to it and also admitted he was the cause of the divorce. He married Patti in 1991 and they are still married. I don't condone adultery but Bruce was with the wrong woman and he found the right one and everything turned out great. I think 3 kids too. I love this song. I don't even know why -- I can't relate to it. I'm happily marrried 17 years and no adultery :) Thanks for a great song, Bruce.

      Stripper bar? That's classy? Lol....I loved the finger picking on the guitar- it's hypnotic. Our boy Bruce got down from hero mountain to join the rest of us. He fell in love and he couldn't make it work. He became human, that's why "One Step" resonates so strong..Cause this time he wasn't observing, he was in it. It's all over his face in the video, he won't even look directly at the camera. I would sit in the bar, meeting women, having a great time, drinking beer from a glass shaped like a boot. But I was still getting over her three years down the line. I had some tragic romantic vibe going that the women liked. You get over it, you have to. But it marks you, I'm sure Bruce Springsteen would agree with that. "One Step up and two steps back."

      Or maybe the acceptance of your own shortcomings as a man and an acceptance of your sins. Anyone can write a song about love lost by the failings of another but this song speaks to his own failure and where he fell short in his own expectations of himself. There can be regret for love lost but it doesn’t hurt near as much or cut near as deep as love lost due to your own bad decisions or fault. He did it to himself. It will haunt him. The lyric I didn’t hear at 17 but I hear and feel at 53.

    One of my favorite Bruce songs. The “Tunnel of Love” album documented the breakup of his first marriage. It always amazes me how a good songwriter can take something as personal as the break-up of a marriage, and put it on a kind of “universal” feel to it, that anyone can relate to.

    This song really touches the saddest parts of human life and culture. Disappointment, rejection, addiction, self-pity, regret…..it’s all there and we’ve all felt some of it. That why this song is so good. It uses music which opens us up to emotional reaction then kicks our ass with lyrics that we all could have written on a bad day. Nice job Bruce.
    Pretty sure he was feeling the loss and failure of his first marriage when he wrote it. I may be wrong but I doubt it.

    My life is different now and this music is deep and soulful.

    Nils Lofgren’s guitar work here, gives it a spooky quality that just seals this song for me, in the best way. Nils is a one of the most underrated guitarists in my opinion. Growing up in the 80’s I’ve always been a Bruce fan, but listening to his music 35 - 40 years later just makes me appreciate it that much more.

    In a world of auto-tuned dreck, Bruce's pain and anguish in this song is so incredibly real

    How can you be so brilliant with such a simple song, because it is filled with human emotion.

    The finest song on my favourite Bruce album. Loved it when it came out as a young man, heartbreaking then, heartbreaking now. Absolute genius.

    A beautiful song that reminds me of the painful lessons I’ve learned in relationships. The devastation of divorce. This is such a simple brilliant song pouring with gut wrenching emotion a musical masterpiece that speaks to hearts that have been weathered

    I gotta say I need Bruce in my life this song is so beautiful gotta say Bruce has seen me thru divorce from an abuser financial stress and the death of my father the only man who truly loved and understood me plus I have a brain injury life is super hard but if I can listen to songs by him it makes it all easier take care and love from Australia.
