Jim Croce - One Less Set of Footsteps (w/ Lyrics)

Lyrics:

We've been runnin' away from
Somethin' we both know
We've long run out of things to say
And I think I better go

So don't be getting excited
When you hear that slammin' door
'Cause there'll be one less set of footsteps
On your floor in the mornin'

And we've been hidin' from somethin'
That should have never gone this far
But after all it's what we've done
That makes us what we are

And you been talkin' in silence
Well, if it's silence you adore
Oh there'll be one less set of footsteps
On your floor in the mornin'

Well there'll be one less set of footsteps on your floor
One less man to walk in
One less pair of jeans upon your door
One less voice a'talkin'

But tomorrow's a dream away
Today has turned to dust
Your silver tongue has turned to clay
And your golden rule to rust
If that's the way that you want it
Well, that's the way I want it more
There'll be one less set of footsteps
On your floor in the mornin'

♩♫ ♪♬♩...

Well there'll be one less set of footsteps on your floor
One less man to walk in
One less pair of jeans upon your door
One less voice a'talkin'

But tomorrow's a dream away
Today has turned to dust
Your silver tongue has turned to clay
And your golden rule to rust
If that's the way that you want it
Well, that's the way I want it more
There'll be one less set of footsteps
On your floor in the mornin'

Well, there'll be one less set of footsteps
On your floor in the mornin'

See Ya! Don't let the door hit ya!.... Great song... I often wonder how many more hits Jim would have given us had his life had not been taken @ such a young age... He had a style that still gives me goosebumps. Im sure he is still rocking in heaven! God bless you Jim....

great songs like this make you cry for the unsung music of this man and all singer songwriters that died before their time, Croce, Sam Cooke, Otis Reading, and so many more. I introduced this music to my daughter, not expecting her to like it, but just to let her know what is out there. to my surprise she loves it! Now, when I am looking for my Earth wind and fire, Stevie Wonder, or Jim Croce, I look in her room first and its always there. I am going to surprise her with her own....

@bambam691964 That's what makes him special. He never left the 70's. He is apart of that era alone.

What is the name of the song that plays in that advertisement before the video begins? It is such an awesome song.

@DoYouhav2ask You are absolutely right. That's a really good line. Beats what I would have written----"Oh, Yeah?" In either case, the F*** Y** is implied.

His singles "Bad, Bad Leroy Brown" and "Time in a Bottle" were both number one hits on the Billboard Hot 100 charts.

On September 20, 1973, the day that his ABC single, "I Got a Name", was released, Croce, Muehleisen, and four others were killed in the crash of a chartered Beechcraft E18S upon takeoff.
