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 feelin´ 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 gettin´ locked up in your room Is way better than gettin´ 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 feelin´ 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 Chasin´ down your dreams (Chasin´ 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 feelin´ broken through and through You can follow the footprints I left for you"
