I Should Have Watched That First Step Lyrics - 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 lies, 

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,
