Footprints on the Windshield

There's footprints on the windshield
ten little toes
footprints on the windshield
without their clothes
I tell myself I'm seeing things
tricks playin' on my mind
but there's footprints on the windshield
I know they sure ain't mine.

A butt-end in the ashtray...
ain't seen you smoke.
They say it keeps hands busy
that ain't no joke
you been drivin' in the bush:
deep valleys and tall pines—
there's footprints on the windshield
I know they sure ain't mine.

footprints
walkin' on my heart
them footprints
leadin' us apart
footprints...

The music is romantic
the station's new
but since I didn't pick it
I sing the blues
all the wipers in the world
will never dry my eyes
not with footprints on the windshield
I know they sure ain't mine
yeah, footprints on the windshield
you know they sure ain't mine.
