Jim and Jesse Today Album
Banjo tuned E, Capo 3, Key of
E A
Watch that first step, Lady
E
It's the wrong one
B7
It can take you past
E
The point of no return
A
She stares out her window
E
Of her big suburban home
B7
And lights her cigarette
E
And drinks her coffee, all alone
A
Her minds reflects on her younger days
E
And the things that might have been
B7
She listens, while the silence
E
Closes in
A
She looks into a mirror
E
That details her wasted years
B7
Her make up hides the lines of
E
Youthful dreams that disappear
Tonight he's out of town again
A friend will keep the kids
And she thinks about the things
That she never did
Watch that first step Lady
It's a long one
When you play with fire
You might get burned
Watch that first step, Lady
It's the wrong one
It can take you past
The point of no return
In a darkened downtown bar
A stranger offers her a drink
She knows he knows that she's new at this
But she tries not to think
The passing hours find them all alone
At closing time
And suddenly, she's
One step from the line
Watch that first step, Lady
It's a long one
And your not the kind
To step across the line
Watch that first step Lady
It's the wrong one,
Better go home, alone
While there's still time
Better go home alone,
While there's still time
