Got the call, this ain't no drill
Silver's waiting, climb aboard
Grab the bars, hit first gear
Dead ahead and charge the hill
Shooting west at the speed of sound
Screamin' loud around the bend
Narrowed eyes, lookin' straight ahead
Ditch that thing they're comin' down
Gonna make the big time one day
Get the brass ring next round
But all he's making are
Just the footprints
Just the small stuff
After all the years
But made his mark ain't that enough
Clear below he'll lead the way
Where this goes nobody knows
Another thrill he'll win the prize
Now's the time to save the day
No he failed to have his way
No headline in the news
Not a chapter in the book
Yet this gem won't fade away
Always dreams of being the hero
Gets the girl and saves the world
But all he's making are
Just the footprints
Just the small stuff
After all the years
But made his mark ain't that enough
Found the cure and won the game
Won the prize, it's a knockout punch
No did nothing big at all
Still he's the best all the same
Nothing grand and glorious
Deeds much closer to home
Shared a game and had some thrills
Held their hands and opened doors
Always dreams of being the hero
Gets the girl and saves the world
But all he's making are
Just the footprints
Just the small stuff
After all the years
But made his mark ain't that enough
Always dreamed of being the hero
Got the girl and saved the world
But all he made were
Just the footprints
Just the small stuff
After all the years
But made his mark ain't that enough
