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

[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
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 mе
I never thought a broken hеart could be so real

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

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
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
[Chorus]
Every man must leave his footprints
On the shifting sands of time
But I'll just leave the mark of a heel
