Step On Out is the 10th country studio album (12th total) from American country music quartet The Oak Ridge Boys, released in 1985. It contains the #1 singles "Touch a Hand (Make a Friend)" and "Little Things", as well as the #3 single "Come On In (You Did the Best You Could Do)". The title song was co-written by Rock & Roll Hall of Fame member and former Byrds bass player Chris Hillman and former Crawdaddy magazine editor Peter Knobler. "Staying Afloat" would be covered two years later by Sawyer Brown on their self-titled debut album.
My baby don't take prisoners
She leaves the walking wounded for the others girls
She's a spark in the dark out on the back lot
Shoot you down if you give her a whirl
Seems like she's seen it all before
And what she hasn't seen she's heard of
So keep your secrets hidden
I got my heart out on my sleeve and an eye on the door
I'm gonna step on out step on out
I would tramp all over this town for a dime a dance
I'm gonna step on out step on out
She's front page news in her dancing shoes
A screaming headliner romance
My baby dances through life
She's a sidewalk ballerina
She takes in all in stride
Just a New York City ladies only sin is pride
I'm gonna step on out step on out
I will tramp all over this town for a dime a dance
I'm gonna step on out step on out
She's front page news in her dancing shoes
A screaming headliner romance
Oooh, oooh, oooh
Oooh, oooh, oooh
