If I hadn't dropped the ball,
I would've took it all the way
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've hung my jersey on the wall
If I hadn't dropped the ball
supposed to meet after the game
I waited by the bleachers, but she never came
I found her note on my windshield
underneath the wiper blade
With goodbye bleeding through
it in the cold October rain
And those re cruiters in from
If I hadn't dropped the ball
took a job out on the coast
That's where I met your mama
and the rest I guess you know
If I had the chance to go back
and score that last touchdown
I wouldn't do it ?cause I wouldn't be here now
I wouldn't be around to catch you when you fall
If I hadn't dropped the ball
