One Step Back Songtext
von Jamie Warren

If I could take one step back
I′d be slipping 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

Driving down that old dirt road with a feeling of content
The summer sun reminds me of a childhood laid to rest
And driving past the riverbank where Mary first kissed me
The lilacs still grow wild and free

And Bobby lays the blacktop down and is very seldom home
A lovely wife and three young kids and a fourth one almost grown
Rudy he found Jesus and he moved out to LA
And Mary has a new last name

If I could take one step back
I′d be slipping 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


The whistle at the factory no longer makes a sound
The roller banks are mini-malled, the drive-in′s been torn down
The courthouse is still standing even though we marched and railed
It's nice to know some things don′t change

If I could take one step back
I'd be slipping 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

Life is like that old freight train
The tracks go one way out of town
But if you ride long enough
It′ll bring you back around

If I could take one step back
I'd be slipping 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 slipping 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
