21-17 Lyrics - Singles - Doug Supernaw

Writer: Reece D. WIlson 

The game was tied at seven all 

She said let's take a walk 

We found a place behind the stands 

She said we need to talk 

She went on and on about this town bein' small 

And how she needed other things 

Just about when they made it 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 there's things I need to do 

She said somethin' about some school down south 

Where she was gonna go next fall 

14 to 10 we were winnin' again 

While I was losin' it all 

She lookd at me with tear filled eyes 

And said I hope you realize 

That this is not the way that I meant for it end 

And suddenly the crowd broke through 

Yellin' we've got spirit how about 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 wasn't 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 loud speaker said 

The kick is up it's good 

I waited til she walked back in 

Then turned my back into the wind 

Before I let the tears begin to fall with the rain 

I made it back in time to see 

Jason throw to Bobby Lee 

And make homecoming history 

With a ninety yard gain 

Now there's a banner hangin' down 

From the stadium wall 

Reminding everybody of the year we won it all 

And though I was at every game I swear 

One remains a memory 

It was 21 -17 when time ran out on me
