A Step Behind

She was sittin' at the stoplight, window down
Car was loaded up, and she was leavin' town
With nowhere to go I hit the road
But she was everywhere and in between
Now it's the same job, same place, same goddamn scene

I guess I'm always a step behind
It's hard to get a step ahead
Never quite right on time
I'm always on the losin' end

I kicked around every dive in this town
Spent my money and my ticket on a few more rounds
All my friends were dead ends
Hangin' on by the skin of their teeth
Still couldn't find the door once I'd found my feet

I guess I'm always a step behind
It's hard to get a step ahead
Never quite right on time
I'm always on the losin' end
I'm always a step behind
Always lookin 'round the bend
Just countin' cars and killin' time
'Till somethin' good comes this way again

I can't keep runnin' around in circles
'Cause everytime somethin' just breaks free
I'm tryin' to find my way but it's never been that easy
Maybe I'm right where I'm supposed to be

Hey!

I guess I'm always a step behind
It's hard to get a step ahead
Never quite right on time
I'm always on the losin' end
I'm always a step behind
Always lookin' round the bend
Just countin' cars and killin' time
'Till somethin' good comes this way again
'Till somethin' good comes this way again
'Till somethin' good comes my way again
