Footprints

Mom and dad told me When you were on the way They wouldn't love me any less Well, I didn't believe them I thought you'd take my place I didn't know a best friend's what I'd get Through the years, I'd make mistakes So you wouldn't have to make 'em And I took chances every day So you'd know when to take 'em You can follow my footprints But you don't gotta fill my shoes It's just a path for you to follow If you so choose You can take the road less traveled Yeah, I'd probably do that too But if you're lost and feeling broken through and through You can follow the footprints I left for you (Oh) If you break mama's window Just go on and tell the truth 'Cause trust is the one thing you don't wanna break And if you drink yourself into trouble Then getting locked up in your room Is way better than getting locked up at the station Oh, through the years, I'd make mistakes So you wouldn't have to make 'em Yeah, I took chances every day So you'd know when to take 'em You can follow my footprints But you don't gotta fill my shoes It's just a path for you to follow If you so choose You can take the road less traveled Yeah, I'd probably do that too But if you're lost and feeling broken through and through You can follow the footprints I left for you I left for you And if one day you run right past me Chasing down your dreams (chasing down your dreams) I hope that I can look ahead And you'll turn and say to me "You can follow my footprints But you don't gotta fill my shoes It's just a path for you to follow If you so choose You can take the road less traveled Yeah, I'd probably do that too But if you're lost and feeling broken through and through You can follow the footprints I left for you You can follow the footprints I left for you"
