Words At Twenty Paces lyrics
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?
Chorus:
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.
Bridge:
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?
Chorus
