I told him "Better take your muddy boots off,"
I said, "Your mama's gonna freak right out when she sees this mess,
but you can blame it on me."
'Cause he was only followin' Daddy

I don't like to think about the way in
There was only one pair of shoes by the front door
Thought I was alright on my own
Thanks to you those days are gone

You stopped me in my tracks
Now I can see the future every time that I look back

At the
Little footprints followin' me
Little footprints brand new
Little hands that hold my heart
are only there because of you
Little prints followin' me
So walk more carefully?
'Cause what I do, and where I go
Is gonna wind up there too I know

He says "Daddy what we gonna do now?
I got my bucket and my shovel and I'm ready when you are."
I pack the cooler and I grab my keys
Next thing I know we're on the beach
Listenin' to shells for the sound of the sea
It's just a lake in little Tennessee
It wouldn't matter if we were on Mars,
'Cause I belong right where you are
And this might be heaven now
At least I start to think so every time that I look down

At the
Little footprints followin' me
Little footprints brand new
Little hands that hold my heart
are only there because of you
Little prints followin' me
So walk more carefully?
'Cause what I do, and where I go
Is gonna wind up there too I know

Oh, you and God must'a made a plan
To teach me how to care
To save my life, to make me better
And to prove to me His love is there

It's in the
Little footprints followin' me
Little footprints brand new
Little hands that hold my heart
are only there because of you
Little prints followin' me
So walk more carefully?
'Cause how I act, and what I say
And what I do, and where I go
Is gonna wind up there too I know
