Tim McGraw, “Annie I Owe You A Dance”
(verse)
I was running late again,
picking up a few things
And
there you were on isle
13.
I
felt that old rush, when you
saw me you blushed
Like you
did when you were sweet
sixteen.
They
said you looked lost on the
dancefloor,
With a l
onely look in your
eyes.
Don’t know
why I didn’t show, to this
day I still don’t know
For
once I wish I hadn’t thought
twice.
Then your
folks split up and you
moved to Colorado,
And I
headed out to
Tennessee.
Heard you got married and you
moved back home,
Here we are again, you and
me.
(chorus)
It’s no
surprise the light in your
little girl’s eyes,
Shines like the ring on your
hand.
Annie, I
owe you a
dance.
(verse)
Don’t the years fly by in the
blink of an eye,
Yeah
loves, I’ve had a
few.
I’ve
been a million places and I’ve
seen a million faces,
But I
couldn’t stop thinking ’bout
you.
Remember how we’d talk for
hours,
keeping each other’s
secrets,
Made a
promise I’d take you to
homecoming,
But
Annie I
didn’t
keep
it.
Almost
called you up, when I
played it bolder,
But I
thought I’d just let it
be.
Heard you
found yourself a
real good man,
Do you
ever think of you and
me?
(chorus)
It’s no
surprise the light in your
little girl’s eyes,
Shines like the ring on your
hand.
Annie, I
owe you a
dance.
(instrumental)
B E F#, B E F#
(verse-0ut)
So put your
groceries in the basket, I’m so
sorry, now I’m asking
Like I
should have twenty years
ago.
And I
know it’s all over, I’m just
looking for some closure,
And there’s a
song on the
radio.
You
give me your hand and we
start to dance,
The
cashier gives us a
smile.
As you
turn and walk away, I hear your
little girl say
”Momma, who was that
guy?”
I
shouldn’t be surprised, look
forgiveness in your eyes,
Gave me a second
chance.

Annie, thanks for the dance.
