[00:-2.00]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]
