Warren Jamie - One Step Back Lyrics lyrics
rate meOne Step Back – Jamie Warren
Chorus
If I could take one step back
I'd be slippin' out the back door
And I'd take one more drive
In my Daddy's old car
And I'd take one last look
Through Mary's bedroom window
If I could take just one step back
Verse 1
Drivin' down that old dirt road
With a feeling of contempt
The summer sun reminds me of
A childhood laid to rest
And drivin' past the river bank
Where Mary first kissed me
The lilacs still grow wild and free
Verse 2
And Bobby lays the blacktop down
And is very seldom home
A lovely wife and three young kids
And a fourth one almost grown
And Rudy he found Jesus
And he moved out to L.A.
Mary has a new last name
Repeat Chorus
Verse 3
The whistle at the factory
No longer makes a sound
The roller rink’s a mini mall
The drive-in's been torn down
The court house is still standin’
Even though we marched and prayed
It's nice to know some things don't change
Repeat Chorus
Bridge
Life is like that old freight train
The tracks go one way out of town
But if you ride it long enough
It'll bring you back around
Outro Chorus
If I could take one step back
I'd be slippin' out the back door
And I'd take one more drive
In my Daddy's old car
And I'd take one last look
Through Mary's bedroom window
If I could take just one I’d take
One step back
I'd be slippin' out the back door
And I'd take one more drive
In my Daddy's old car
And I'd take one last look
Through Mary's bedroom window
If I could take just one step back
