One Step Ahead Of My Past Lyrics - Hank Locklin

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
