One Step Back

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 Feeling of content Summer sun reminds me of A childhood put to rest Drivin' past the river bend Where Mary first kissed me Lilacs still grow wild and free And Bobby lays the blacktop down And is very seldom home Lookin' out for three young kids A fourth one almost grown Rudy he found Jesus And he moved out to LA Mary has a new last name Repeat chorus Whistle at the factory No longer makes a sound The roller rinks and mini malls The drive-in's been torn down The court house is still standing Even though we must be brave It's nice to know some things don't change Repeat Chorus Bridge: Life is like that old freight train Tracks go one way out of town But if you ride it long enough It'll bring you back around Repeat Chorus (2)
