Words At Twenty Paces

Just like a western movie

A challenge has been made

A shot was fired in anger

And pride stepped off the train

Won't we ever stop this

Killin', me and you,

Till our hearts are up on Boot Hill

And there's nothing we can do.

Words at twenty paces,

Anger at high noon

This house ain't big enough

For both of us it's comin' soon

We'll finish off our happiness

And run hope out of town

With words at twenty paces,

Lord, it's love we're gunnin' down.

How did we ever lose

The dreams we used to share

The gentle touch, the words of love,

The way we used to care

Sometimes you words

Cut like a bullet in my side

Oh, which is more important,

Wounded hearts or wounded pride.

I've got my ammunition

I know you've got yours too

We know each other's weakness

Lord, the damage we can do

Why can't we just step aside

And put our guns away

Let love come like the cavalry

Ride in and save the day.

Words at twenty paces,

Anger at high noon

This house ain't big enough

For both of us it's comin' soon

We'll finish off our happiness

And run hope out of town

With words at twenty paces,

Lord, it's love we're gunnin' down.

Words at twenty paces,

Anger at high noon

This house ain't big enough for

Both of us it's comin' soon

We'll finish off our happiness

And run hope out of town

With words at twenty paces,

Lord, it's love we're gunnin' down.

Words at twenty paces...
