I Should Have Watched That First Step - George Strait

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

That first step did something to her mind.
