Chorus:



If I could take one step back

I'd be slippin' out the back door

And I'd take one more drive

In my Daddy's old car

And I'd take one last look

Through Mary's bedroom window

If I could take just one step back



Verse 1:



Drivin' down that old dirt road

Feeling of content

Summer sun reminds me of 

A childhood put to rest

Drivin' past the river bend

Where Mary first kissed me

Lilacs still grow wild and free

And Bobby lays the blacktop down

And is very seldom home

Lookin' out for three young kids

A fourth one almost grown

Rudy he found Jesus

And he moved out to LA

Mary has a new last name



Repeat chorus



Whistle at the factory

No longer makes a sound

The roller rinks and mini malls

The drive-in's been torn down

The court house is still standing

Even though we must be brave

It's nice to know some things don't change



Repeat Chorus



Bridge:



Life is like that old freight train

Tracks go one way out of town

But if you ride it long enough

It'll bring you back around



Repeat Chorus (2)
