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 he'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 he knows all about me I'm one step ahead of my past
