If I hadn't dropped the ball, I 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've hung my jersey on the wall If I hadn't dropped the ball Me and Cindy Miller were 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 We probably would've gotten married And those recruiters in from ?Bama would've called If I hadn't dropped the ball My life would've been so different if in that instant Things had gone the way I planned But the fact is that 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 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 Well, son, I wouldn't do it ?cause I wouldn't be here now 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 been so different if in that instant Things had gone the way I planned But the fact is that they didn't and the hand I wound up getting Is the one that God intended me to have Oh, I wouldn't be the man I am at all If I hadn't dropped the ball
