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 and 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, backshoot 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 highschool 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:
That's one you owe me, I let you slide,
I can't, backshoot 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.
