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 |
