Words At Twenty Paces — текст песни (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?

Chorus:
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.

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?

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
