KEVIN RAY - 21 TO 17 lyrics

rate me

Mike 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>
