Lyrics Zero Kevin Ray

Zero

The game was tied at 7 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 'bout this town being small
And how she needed other things
Just about when they made it 7 to 10
She gave me back my ring

The cheers went up
As she broke down
And said, it isn't you
I think you know how I really feel
But there's things that I've gotta do
She said something about some school down South
Where she was gonna go next fall
Fourteen to ten, 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 is not the way that I
Meant for it to end
And suddenly the crowd broke through
Yelling, we've got spirit, how 'bout you
And all that I could think to do
Was simply join in

She said, It's best if we do this now
And it began to rain
I wasn't sure if I was shaking
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, it's good

I waited til she'd walk back in
To turn 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 90 yard gain

Now there's a banner hanging down
From the stadium wall
Reminding everybody of
The year we won it all
And though I was there at every game I swear
Only one remains a memory
It was 21 to 17
When time ran out on me

21 to 17
When time ran out on me
