Hank Thompson - The Mark of a Heel 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
