Words At Twenty Paces Lyrics - Alabama

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. 

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.

Both of us it's comin' soon
