Hank Locklin - One Step Ahead Of My Past lyrics

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...
