Steve tells us -

"I was writing with a fellow. Let's call him Dude for now. Dude had the footprints of his little children across his guitar and I loved that. I immediately thought, however silently, what a great title "Little Footprints" would make. I say silently because I just felt that it was something I needed to write myself at a later date. Nothing against Dude. It marinated for some time until about 4am one night at my cabin I woke up with some chunks of lyric stuck in my throat. As I got up and expelled them onto paper more of the lyric came to me and I realized that it was becoming a "thank you" song to my wife Jan, for the three children she has given us. It sounds corny but it really did come straight from the heart.

And further to that thought, one of my closest friends was dying of cancer in 05 and I was devastated and heart broken. She had been my friend most of my adult life and my manager for about four years. Just a couple of weeks before she passed away I received a call from a women who told me she'd been looking for me because a song of mine called "Little Footprints" which had won first place in the Country category in the International Song Writing contest. I was unaware that my song was even entered. That was one of the plums that my amazing and wonderful friend threw over her shoulder before she left this world. I miss her now and forever."

Little Footprints
Steve Fox

I told him better take your muddy boots off
I said your mamas gonna freak right out when she sees this mess
And you can blame it on me, cause he was only following daddy
I don't like to think about when
there was only one pair of shoes by the front door
thought I was alright on my own
thanks to you those days are gone
You stopped me in my tracks
Now I can see the future every time that I look back

Little foot prints following me
Little foot prints brand new
Little hands that hold my heart are only there because of you
Little foot prints following me so I walk more carefully
cause what I do and where I go
is gonna wind up there too

I know He says daddy what we gonna do now
I got my bucket and my shovel and Im ready when you are
I pack a cooler and I grab my keys, next thing I know we're on the the beach
Listening to shells for the sound of the sea
It's just a lake in Middle Tennessee
It wouldn't matter if we were on mars
Cause I belong right where you are
And this might be heaven now
At least I start to think so every time I look down at the

Chorus

Oh you and god must have made a plan to teach me how to care save my life to make me better and to prove to me his love is there.. it's in

Chorus…
Little foot prints following me
Little foot prints brand new
Little hands that hold my heart are only there because of you
Little foot prints following me
so I walk more carefully
cause how I act, and what I say what I do and where I go
is gonna wind up there too I know
