One Foot On Your DoorstepWords & Music: Andy HillLast night I left The bed where we lay sleepingDrifted through the walls out to the road Now It don't take no college education To know this dream is moving way too slow Now for days we haven't spoke to one another And we both know that something's wrong There's a pain down deep inside me Something that I used to have is gone CHORUS Now I've got one foot on your doorstep One foot on the road Every step I take I either make or break The promise of the love you hold Now I've got to make it to the river to wash my soul In the water fresh and cold And I've got one foot on your doorstep One foot on the road I don't pretend to make excuses for the way that l am I don't pretend to,think that for yon I'm gonna change I've known sin and I've known sorrow And from where I stand The straight and narrow path still looks the same CHORUS Now I've got one foot on your doorstep One foot on the road Every step I take I either make or break The promise of the love you hold Now I've got to make it to the river to wash my soul In the water fresh and cold And I've got one foot on your doorstep One foot on the road Man asks his God for forgiveness Man makes excuse for his pride But confession's no place for an honest man To rationalize or to hide CHORUS |
