The Ball |
| If I hadn’t dropped the ball, I would’ve took it all the way |
| Homecoming '89 with ten seconds left to play |
| We were drivin' toward the goal line, they were screamin' in the stands |
| I had the chance to be a hero, but it slipped right through my hands |
| There would’ve been a big pep rally, the would’ve hung my jersey on the wall |
| If I hadn’t dropped the ball |
| Me and Cindy Miller were supposed to meet after the game |
| I waited by the bleachers, but she never came |
| I found a note on my windshield underneath the wiper blade |
| With goodbye bleedin' through it in the cold October rain |
| We probably would’ve gotten married |
| And those recruiters in from 'Bama would’ve called |
| If I hadn’t dropped the ball |
| My life would’ve been so different if in that instant |
| Things had gone the way I planned |
| But the fact is that they didn’t, and the hand I wound up getting |
| Is something that i’ll never understand |
| I ran away that summer, took a job out on the coast |
| And that’s where I met your mama, and the rest I guess you know |
| If I had the chance to go back and score that last touchdown |
| Well, son, I wouldn’t do it, 'cause you wouldn’t be here now |
| And I wouldn’t be your hero, I wouldn’t be around to catch you when you fall |
| If I hadn’t dropped the ball |
| My life would’ve been so different if in that instant |
| Things had gone the way I planned |
| But the fact is that they didn’t and the hand I wound up getting |
| Is the one that god intended me to have |
| No, I wouldn’t be the man I am at all |
| If I hadn’t dropped the ball |
