Footprints

Ingrid Andress

Mom and dad told me

When you were on the way

They wouldn't love me any less

 

I didn't believe them

I thought you'd take my place

I didn't know a best friend's what'd 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 to 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

 

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 to 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

 

And if one day you run right past me

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 to 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 my footprints

I left for you

You can follow the footprints

I left for you
