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