That's One You Owe Me · letra

Verse 1

There was a showdown at high noon reputations on the line It was the good guys and the bad guys I was eight and he was nine And I forgot to keep my back to the wall in Dodge that day And from somewhere behind me I heard him say

Chorus

That's one you owe me, I let you slide I can't back shoot a buddy, it goes against my pride So like two desperadoes we'll ride off in the sun But just remember you owe me one

Verse 2

It was high school and football on two different teams I was good but he was better than I would ever be And when I finally crossed the goal line ahead of him that day As the crowd was going wild I heard him say

Chorus

Verse 3

She was long and lean and pretty and soon to be his bride When she strayed into my arms one day with loving on her mind Well I was almost tempted by her soft touch and her sigh But the next time I saw him I could look him in the eye

Chorus] [x 2
