George Strait - I Should Have Watched That First Step lyrics

rate me

I once had a love, a true and lasting love,

But the fool in me came out one night.

And with her loving eyes

she saw right through my eyes,

And she changed the night

I stepped across the line.

I should have watched that first step

It was a mighty big step

when I started steppin' out of line.

Though she's still lovin' me

it's not the way it used to be.

That first step did something to her mind.

I watched her slip away

a little more every day

And my conscience couldn't live

with all that pain.

She's growing colder since the day I told her

And the love we had will never be the same.

I should have watched that first step

It was a mighty big step

when I started steppin' out of line.

Though she's still lovin' me

it's not the way it used to be

That first step did something to her mind
