21-17

The game was tied at seven 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 about this town bein' small

And how she needed other things

Just about when they made it 7 to 10

She gave me back my ring

Cheers went up as she broke down

She said it isn't you

I think you know how I really feel

But there's things I need to do

She said somethin' about some school down south

Where she was gonna go next fall

14 to 10 we were winnin' again

While I was losin' it all

She lookd at me with tear filled eyes

And said I hope you realize

That this is not the way that I meant for it end

And suddenly the crowd broke through

Yellin' we've got spirit how about you

And all that I could think to do was simply join in

She said it's best if we do this now

Then it began to rain

I wasn't sure if I was shakin'

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 loud speaker said

The kick is up it's good

I waited til she walked back in

Then turned 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 ninety yard gain

Now there's a banner hangin' down

From the stadium wall

Reminding everybody of the year we won it all

And though I was at every game I swear

One remains a memory

It was 21 -17 when time ran out on me
