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 passed at all
And this town will never change,
Home sweet home the brave,
Where horses sleep in stalls,
Like no time has passed 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.
