Two Gunslingers

TWO GUNSLINGERS- Tom Petty

 

Two gunslingers, walked out in the street and one said

"I don't wanna fight no more"

And the other gunslinger thought about it and he said, "yeah

What are we fighting for?"

I'm takin' control of my life, I'm takin' control of my life

I'm takin' control of my life now, right now, oh yeah

Well the crowd that assembled for the gun fight were let down

Everyone hissed and booed

And a stranger told his Mrs. that's the last one of these gunfights

You're ever gonna drag me to ...CHORUS

Well the two gunslingers went ridin' out of town and

Were never heard from no more

And there ain't been a gun fight for a long time, maybe never

But nobody knows for sure ...CHORUS
