Words at twenty paces · letra

Verse 1

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 Killing me and you Until 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 coming soon We'll finish off our happiness And run hope out of town With words at twenty paces Lord, it's love we're gunning 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

Verse 2

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

Words at twenty paces Anger at high noon This house ain't big enough For both of us, it's coming soon We'll finish off our happiness And run hope out of town With words at twenty paces Lord, it's love we're gunning down Words at twenty paces Anger at high noon This house ain't big enough For both of us, it's coming soon We'll finish off our happiness And run hope out of town With words at twenty paces Lord, it's love we're gunning down Words at twenty paces
