Lyrics:

Every man must leave his footprints
On the shifting sands of time
But I'll just leave the mark of a heel

She was mine for ten long years, that's about ten thousand beers
Not counting all the nights she was alone
Now divide the times she cried by the times that I have lied
And you'll wonder how she stood it for so long

Funny thing now that she's gone I'm home every night alone
The bright lights have lost all their appeal
If I thought she'd always be here at home to comfort me
I never thought a broken heart could be so real

Every man must leave his footprints...

When the book of time is read and all the words have all been said
More than likely there'll be a special word for me
For the fool that I have been and the sins that I have sinned
Is plain enough for anyone to see
