George Straight - 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 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
