Alabama - Words At Twenty Paces Lyrics

Lyrics Words At Twenty Paces - 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
'Til our hearts are up on Boot Hill
And there's nothing we can do
Words at 20 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 20 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 a cavalry
Ride in and save the day
Words at 20 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 20 paces
Lord, it's love we're gunnin' down
Words at 20 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 20 paces
Lord, it's love we're gunnin' down
Words at 20 paces
