KEVIN RAY - 21 TO 17 lyrics
rate meMike Riley<br>
The game was tied at 7 all<br>
She said, let's take a walk<br>
We found a place behind the stands<br>
She said, we need to talk<br>
She went on and on 'bout this town being small<br>
And how she needed other things<br>
Just about when they made it 7 to 10<br>
She gave me back my ring<br>
<br>
The cheers went up<br>
As she broke down<br>
And said, it isn't you<br>
I think you know how I really feel<br>
But there's things that I've gotta do<br>
She said something about some school down South<br>
Where she was gonna go next fall<br>
Fourteen to ten, we were winning again<br>
While I was losing it all<br>
<br>
She looked at me with tear-filled eyes<br>
And said, I hope you realize<br>
That this is not the way that I<br>
Meant for it to end<br>
And suddenly the crowd broke through<br>
Yelling, we've got spirit, how 'bout you<br>
And all that I could think to do<br>
Was simply join in<br>
<br>
She said, It's best if we do this now<br>
And it began to rain<br>
I wasn't sure if I was shaking<br>
From the cold or the pain<br>
She turned away then she stopped to say<br>
She really hoped I understood<br>
I nodded my head as the loudspeaker said<br>
The kick is up, it's good<br>
<br>
I waited til she'd walk back in<br>
To turn my back into the wind<br>
Before I let the tears begin<br>
To fall with the rain<br>
I made it back in time to see<br>
Jason throw to Bobby Lee<br>
And make homecoming history<br>
With a 90 yard gain<br>
<br>
Now there's a banner hanging down<br>
From the stadium wall<br>
Reminding everybody of<br>
The year we won it all<br>
And though I was there at every game I swear<br>
Only one remains a memory<br>
It was 21 to 17<br>
When time ran out on me<br>
<br>
21 to 17<br>
When time ran out on me<br>
<br>
