Alabama - Words at Twenty Paces lyrics

Just like a western movie

A challenge has been made

A shot 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 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
