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 trainWon'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' soonWe'll finish off our happiness
And run hope out of town
With words at twenty paces
Lord, it's love we're gunnin' downHow 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 doWhy 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' soonWe'll finish off our happiness
And run hope out of town
With words at twenty paces
Lord, it's love we're gunnin' downWords at twenty paces
Anger at high noon
This house ain't big enough
For both of us, it's comin' soonWe'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
