Текст: Hank Locklin. One Step Ahead Of My Past.

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
