One False Move
And so we faced across the dawnPistols loaded, senses keen
The dust of recent love gone wrong
Still not settled, wounds not healed
How delicately poised
The hand upon the trigger
Just the slightest noise
Will fetch the old gravedigger
Why cowgirls and boys
Feel that they’ve a point to prove?
All it takes is one false move
One false move and you’re dead
One false move and the credits roll instead
Would our fledgling love be injured
Or would it never be extinguished
Back then it could have gone either way
One false move ends in tears
One false move and they’ll talk ‘bout it for years
So our love needs the decision
Be a corpse or be forgiving
All it takes is just one false move
And so we face across the room
Battle stations once again
We thought our Wild West days were gone
Built our ranch on peaceful plains
But somehow our corral
Has had its fences broken
Now the guy and gal
From Hollywood awoken
Change our rationale
Or everything we still could lose
All it takes is one false move
One false move and you’re dead
One false move and the credits roll instead
Will our love be badly injured
Or will it never be extinguished
Even now it could still go either way
One false move ends in tears
One false move and they’ll talk ‘bout it for years
So our love needs the decision
Be a corpse or be forgiving
All it takes is just one false move
