James Otto - The Ball

If I hadn't dropped the ball
Would've took it all the way
Homecoming 89
With ten seconds left to play

We were driving toward the goal line
They were screaming in the stands
I had the chance to be a hero
But it slipped right through my hands

There would've been a big pep rally
They would have hung my jersey on the wall
If I hadn't dropped the ball

Well me and Cindy Miller
Were suppose to miss after the game
I waited by the bleachers
But she never came

I found a note on my windshield
Underneath the wiper blade
There's goodbye bleeding through it
In the cold October rain

We probably would have gotten married
And those recruiters from Balmer would've called
If I hadn't dropped the ball

My Life would've been so different
If in that end zone
Things had gone the way I planned
But the fact if 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's where your momma
And the rest I guess he knows
If I had the chance to go back
And score that last touch down
Well son I wouldn't do it
Coz you wouldn't be here now
And I wouldn't be your hero
I wouldn't be around to catch you when you fall
If I hadn't dropped the ball
My life would've have been so different
If in that end zone
Things had gone the way I planned
But the fact if they didn't
And the hand I wound up getting
Is the one that god intended me to have
No, I wouldn't be the man I am at all
If I hadn't dropped the ball
