James Otto - The Ball |
| [00:-1.00] |
|
| [00:00.00] |
|
| [00:03.02] |
If I hadn't dropped the ball, |
| [00:06.42] |
I would've took it all the way |
| [00:10.51] |
Homecoming '89 |
| [00:14.07] |
with ten seconds left to play |
| [00:18.15] |
We were drivin' toward the goal line, |
| [00:22.02] |
they were screamin' in the stands |
| [00:25.60] |
I had the chance to be a hero, |
| [00:29.07] |
but it slipped right through my hands |
| [00:33.25] |
There would've been a big pep rally, |
| [00:37.38] |
the would've hung my jersey on the wall |
| [00:46.21] |
If I hadn't dropped the ball |
| [00:50.90] |
|
| [00:52.85] |
Me and Cindy Miller |
| [00:56.14] |
were supposed to meet after the game |
| [01:00.38] |
I waited by the bleachers, |
| [01:03.86] |
but she never came |
| [01:07.52] |
I found a note on my windshield |
| [01:11.55] |
underneath the wiper blade |
| [01:15.63] |
With goodbye bleedin' through it |
| [01:18.97] |
in the cold October rain |
| [01:22.74] |
We probably would've gotten married |
| [01:26.74] |
And those recruiters in from 'Bama would've called |
| [01:35.73] |
If I hadn't dropped the ball |
| [01:40.63] |
|
| [01:41.79] |
My life would've been so different if in that instant |
| [01:47.31] |
Things had gone the way i planned |
| [01:53.46] |
But the fact is that they didn't, |
| [01:57.00] |
and the hand i wound up getting |
| [02:00.84] |
Is something that i'll never understand |
| [02:07.41] |
|
| [02:10.91] |
I ran away that summer, |
| [02:14.37] |
took a job out on the coast |
| [02:17.96] |
And that's where I met your mama, |
| [02:21.89] |
and the rest I guess you know |
| [02:25.83] |
If I had the chance to go back |
| [02:29.83] |
and score that last touchdown |
| [02:33.61] |
Well, son, I wouldn't do it, |
| [02:37.17] |
'cause you wouldn't be here now |
| [02:40.99] |
And I wouldn't be your hero, |
| [02:44.74] |
I wouldn't be around to catch you when you fall |
| [02:53.78] |
If I hadn't dropped the ball |
| [02:58.39] |
|
| [02:59.92] |
My life would've been so different if in that instant |
| [03:05.77] |
Things had gone the way i planned |
| [03:11.42] |
But the fact is that they didn't |
| [03:14.95] |
and the hand i wound up getting |
| [03:19.01] |
Is the one that god intended me to have |
| [03:25.46] |
|
| [03:26.77] |
No, I wouldn't be the man I am at all |
| [03:32.43] |
If I hadn't dropped the ball |
| [03:40.43] |
|
| [03:41.17] |
|
| [03:57.30] |
