Hank Locklin - One Step Ahead Of My Past lyrics

rate me

The love that I've waited and longed for is here in my arms at last

But she doesn't know all about me I'm just one step ahead of my past

Now I'm walking the old straight and narrow but yesterday's coming up fast

Cause you can't keep people from talking I'm just one step ahead of my past

Cause when I played at love I made my mistakes where everyone could see

Now I'm wondering if she'll understand is always haunting me

Will the news break the heart of my darling

And close the door to my future at last

Till the day she knows all about me I'm one step ahead of my past
