Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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?"
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
Well, the crowd that assembled
For the gun fight were let down
Everyone hissed and booed
And the stranger told his Missus
"That's the last one of these gunfights
You're ever gonna drag me to!"
[Verse 4]
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
[Verse 5]
Well, the two gunslingers
Went riding 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
[Verse 6]
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
Now, right now, oh yeah
Now, right now, oh yeah
