Lyrics of Words At Twenty Paces by Alabama
verse
Just like a western movie
A challenge has been made
A shot was fired in anger
And pride stepped off the train
verse
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
chorus
Words at 20 paces
Anger at high noon
This house ain't big enough
For both of us it's comin' soon
chorus
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
verse
How did we ever lose
The dreams we used to share
The gentle touch, the words of love
The way we used to care
verse
Sometimes you words cut like a
Bullet in my side
Oh, which is more important
Wounded hearts or wounded pride?
verse
I've got my ammunition
I know you've got yours too
We know each other's weakness
Lord, the damage we can do
verse
Why can't we just step aside
And put our guns away?
Let love come like a cavalry
Ride in and save the day
chorus
Words at 20 paces
Anger at high noon
This house ain't big enough
For both of us it's comin' soon
chorus
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
chorus
Words at 20 paces
Anger at high noon
This house ain't big enough for
Both of us it's comin' soon
chorus
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
outro
Words at 20 paces
