One Step Behind |
You always been a little slow |
hung up on yourself most times |
you seem to watch the world going by through |
someone else’s eyes |
your own reflection always seems to blind you |
but one day you awoke to find |
all the people that tried to love you were gone |
you were the only one left behind |
You were just one step behind |
you were just one step |
behind |
living one step behind |
and you missed it… |
You didn’t put no kids through college |
or lavish love upon a wife |
so you sit alone with all your pretty things |
waiting for the phone to ring |
you saved a whole lot of money |
you spent a whole lot of time |
waiting for your greater future to get here |
but you couldn’t catch it |
You were just one step behind… |
And you missed it |
Now you wake up on the sidewalk |
with your car keys in your hand |
the sunrise burning holes in your eyes |
but you missed it |
you chased away your princess |
waiting for a queen |
now your princess is gone |
with another man |
and you miss her |
lord how you miss her |
living just one step behind |
You wake up and it’s over |
you done spent your life alone |
you don’t remember that it even happened |
don’t realize it’s gone |
you were just one step behind |
