How we gonna get there baby,
No one's getting shot today,
I was in the streets then darling,
And running down the alleyway.
I was gonna nurse that thing home,
He was gonna shoot his friend,
I was gonna step in baby,
Never stepping in again.
What if there was no one out there,
What if it was me and him,
I was holding two old buckets,
Water filled them to the brim.
He was just a drunken outlaw,
I was just a stable hand
If I was gonna step in baby,
I needed to be twice the man
Gunshots sound
Over hardened city ground
And when you come I call
Like no time has pa**ed at all
And this town will never change,
Home sweet home the brave,
Where horses sleep in stalls,
Like no time has pa**ed at all.
How we gonna get there baby,
No one's getting shot today,
I was in the streets then darling,
You were in the alley way,
I was gonna nurse that thing home,
He was gonna shoot his friend,
I was gonna step in baby,
But I didn't want to condescend.
