A touchdown is a means of scoring in American and Canadian football. Whether running, passing, returning a kickoff or punt, or recovering a turnover, a team scores a touchdown by advancing the ball into the opponent's end zone.
To score a touchdown, one team must take the football into the opposite end zone. The touchdown is scored the instant the ball crosses the plane of the goal line—that is if any part of the ball is in the space on, above, or across the goal line—while in possession of a player whose team is trying to score in that end zone. The play is dead and the touchdown scores the moment the ball crosses the goal line in possession of a player, or the moment the ball comes into possession of an offensive player in the end zone (having established possession by controlling the ball and having one or both feet or another part of the body on the ground). The slightest part of the ball being over the goal line is sufficient for a touchdown to score. However only the ball—not a player's helmet, foot, or other part of the body—counts. Touching one of the pylons at either end of the goal line with the ball constitutes "breaking the plane" as well.

He was standing on the side line wearing that try-out uniform
An old hand me down double zero worn out jersey, ragged and torn
He was two head shorter than all his competition
So, being the start quarterback was a long shot position
But on home-coming Friday night, they were only down by three
They were huddle up in a circle he said on two boys, quarterback sneak
He was in the air when the final second ran out
He could tell that he'd cross the goal by the roar of the crown
Touchdown in a small town
My boy that wore those double zeros
They won, job well done
Lets thank god and hear three cheers for the heroes
Touchdown, touchdown in a small town
He was the pride of Hickman County High
He was something you had to see
He could've gone to any college
But he volunteered to be all he could be
After twelve months overseas fighting in the sand
The pilot on the intercom said were just about to land
Touchdown in a small town
My boy that wore those double zeros
They won, job well done
Lets thank god and hear three cheers for the heroes
Touchdown, touchdown in a small town
No he can't believe they all think he's a hero
