verse 1
B A
There was a showdown at high noon reputations on the line
B E
It was the good guys and the bad guys I was eight and he was nine
E A
And I forgot to keep my back to the wall in Dodge that day
B E
And from somewhere behind me I heard him say
B E
"That's one you owe me I let you slide
B E
I can't back shoot a buddy it goes against my pride
A E A
So like two desperados we'll ride off in the sun
B E
But just remember you owe me one"
verse 2
B A
It was high school and football on two different teams
B E
I was good but he was better than I would ever be
E A
And when I finally crossed the goal line ahead of him that day
B E
As the crowd was goin' wild I heard him say
REPEAT Chorus
verse 3
B A
She was long and lean and pretty and soon to be his bride
B E
When she strayed into my arms one day with lovin' on her mind
E A
Well I was almost tempted by her soft touch and her sigh
B E
But the next time I saw him I could look him in the eye
REPEAT Chorus 2X
