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
 'Til our hearts are up on Boot Hill
 And there's nothing we can do
 Words at 20 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 20 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 a cavalry
 Ride in and save the day
 Words at 20 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 20 paces
 Lord, it's love we're gunnin' down
 Words at 20 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 20 paces
 Lord, it's love we're gunnin' down
 Words at 20 paces
