The game was tied at 7 all   she said lets take a walk   we found a place behind the stands   she said we need to talk   she went on and on bout this town being small   and how she needed other things   just about when they made 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 theres things i need to do   she said sumthin about some school down south   where she was gonna go next fall   14 to 10 we were winning again   while i was losing it all      she looked at me with tear filled eyes   and said i hope you realize   that this was not the way that i had meant for it to end   suddenly the crowd broke through    yellin we've got spirit how bout you   and all that i could think to do   was simply join in      she said its best if we do this now   then it began to rain   i wasnt 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 loudspeaker said   the kick is up and its good      i waited till she walked back in   then turned my back into the wind   before i let the tears to fall with the rain   i made it back in time to see   Jason throw to Bobby Lee   and make homecoming history    with a 90 yard gain      Now theres a banner hanging down   from the stadium wall   remindin everybody of   the year we won it all   though i was at every game i swear   one remains a memory   it was 21 to 17   when time ran out on me   it was 21 to 17   when time ran out on me
