If I could take one step back, I'd be slipping out the back door
And I'd take one more drive in my [B] daddy's old car
And I'd take one last look through Mary's bedroom window
If I could take just one [A] step back
[E]
Driving down that old dirt road, you'd feel enough intense
[A] The summer sun reminds me of a childhood [E] day depressed
Driving past the riverbank where Mary first kissed me
[A] The lilacs [B] still grow wild [E] and free
[E] And Bobby lays the blacktop down and his baby sailed him home
[A] A lovely wife and three young kids and a fortune [E] almost grown
Rudy, he found Jesus and he moved out to L.A.
[A] Mary [B] has a new [E] last name

And [A] I'd take one [E] last look [B] through Mary's [C#m] bedroom window
[G#m] [A] If I could take [B] just one [A] step back
[E] The whistle at the factory no longer makes a sound
[A] The roller makes a mini mall, the drive-in's [E] been torn down
The courthouse is still standing even though we marched and prayed
It's nice to [B] know some things [E] don't change

[E]
[A] If I could [B] take just one [A] step back
[C#m] Life is like [G#] that old freight train

[C#m] But if you ride [G#] it long enough
[E] It'll bring you back [B] around
