That's One You Owe Me

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"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 desperados we'll ride off in the sun

But just remember you owe me one"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 goin' wild I heard him say"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 desperados we'll ride off in the sun

But just remember you owe me one"She was long and lean and pretty and soon to be his bride

When she strayed into my arms one day with lovin' 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 eyeThat's one you owe me I let you slide

I can't back shoot a buddy it goes against my pride

So like two desperados we'll ride off in the sun

But just remember you owe me oneThat's one you owe me I let you slide

I can't back shoot a buddy it goes against my pride

So like two desperados we'll ride off in the sun

But just remember you owe me one
