Lyrics

You Owe Me Big

You owe me big
Yeah, you cut my healing soul
You promised hope,
Took over every thought I owned.
Now how you gonna pay me back
For all my wasted time
With me plotting how to keep you close
And knowing not to try?

You owe me big
Walkin' round bein' sensitive in your cowboy hat
Who'll buy the beer
For all the crowds you've caught with that?
Well you've only got two arms to hold
The followers you've made
And we all need you badly
We all want to be saved.

But I'm a saint.
Yeah, those were your very words
And all this pain
Sweetens the soul
It's how a lover hurts.
I'll let you go
I''ll wipe the slate clean,
but you need to know.
If I weren't kinder than you,
If I weren't kinder than you,
If I weren't kinder than you,

You'd owe me big.
