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
