He Follows My Footsteps

(album: Very Special Love Songs - 1974)

He follows my footsteps with every step I take
I hear his little footsteps with every move I make
I know he loves his mother and his sisters and brothers
But it's my footsteps he follows so I'm bound to walk the line
For that little man of mine

Sometimes I'll have myself a beer and he's gotta have a sip
And I have to go away on another lonely trip
I promise him the moon and stars I'd get them if I could
I kiss away his tears and say now boy you be real good

He follows my footsteps with every step I take
I hear his little footsteps with every move I make
I know he loves his mother and his sisters and brothers
But it's my footsteps he follows and I'm bound to walk the line
For that little man of mine
So I'm bound to walk the line
For that little man of mine
