George Strait - I Should Have Watched That First Step lyrics

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 stepping out of line

Though she's still loving 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

Oh, my conscience couldn't live with all that shame

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 stepping out of line

Though she's still loving me, it's not the way it used to be

That first step did something to her mind

That first step did something to her mind
