James Otto - 10. The Ball lyrics

If I hadn´t dropped the ball, I´d´ve took it all the way
Homecoming ´89 with ten 2nds 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 have been a big pep rally, the´d´ve hung my jersey on the wall
If I hadn´t dropped the ball

Me & 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 have gotten married
And those recruiters in from ´Bama would have called
If I hadn´t dropped the ball

CHORUS:
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 is where I met your mama, & the rest I guess you know
If I had the chance to go back & score that last touchdown
Well, son, I´dn´t do it, ´cause you´dn´t be here now
And I´dn´t be your hero, I´dn´t be around to catch you when you fall
If I hadn´t dropped the ball

CHORUS:
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´dn´t be the man I´m at all
If I hadn´t dropped the ball
