The game was tied at 7 all
|
She said, let's take a walk
|
We found a place behind the stands
|
She said, we need to talk
|
She went on and on 'bout this town being small
|
And how she needed other things
|
Just about when they made it 7 to 10
|
She gave me back my ring
|
|
The cheers went up
|
As she broke down
|
And said, it isn't you
|
I think you know how I really feel
|
But there's things that I've gotta do
|
She said something about some school down South
|
Where she was gonna go next fall
|
Fourteen to ten, we were winning again
|
While I was losing it all
|
|
She looked at me with tear-filled eyes
|
And said, I hope you realize
|
That this is not the way that I
|
Meant for it to end
|
And suddenly the crowd broke through
|
Yelling, we've got spirit, how 'bout you
|
And all that I could think to do
|
Was simply join in
|
|
She said, It's best if we do this now
|
And it began to rain
|
I wasn't sure if I was shaking
|
From the cold or the pain
|
She turned away then she stopped to say
|
She really hoped I understood
|
I nodded my head as the loudspeaker said
|
The kick is up, it's good
|
|
I waited til she'd walk back in
|
To turn my back into the wind
|
Before I let the tears begin
|
To fall with the rain
|
I made it back in time to see
|
Jason throw to Bobby Lee
|
And make homecoming history
|
With a 90 yard gain
|
|
Now there's a banner hanging down
|
From the stadium wall
|
Reminding everybody of
|
The year we won it all
|
And though I was there at every game I swear
|
Only one remains a memory
|
It was 21 to 17
|
When time ran out on me
|
|
21 to 17
|
When time ran out on me
|
|
|

21 To 17
