Put Your Pistols Away
By Dan Miraldi
 
Sometimes you touch me
Sometimes you punch me
Can’t get my head around you
Do you need a quick fix?
Have you had enough of this?
Why can’t you tell me the truth?
Too many years we’ve road this train
Too many more we’ve carried these chains
With enough bad voodoo it could drive you insane
Time to make for another shore
Cuz we don’t belong here anymore
 
Put your pistols away
Live to fight another day yeah yeah
Darlin’ we don’t need to die
No, tonight we’ll just survive
 
Call it an outrage
Tear out another page
We’ve seen a river of blood
Violence without boundaries
Things you pray you’d never see
The horror and faces in the mud
The sheriff said that we were no good
I tried to tell him that he misunderstood
But he was gone when the river did flood
And we did what we do to survive
We react and we don’t ask why
 
Put your pistols away
Live to fight another day yeah yeah
Darlin’ we don’t need to die
No, tonight we’ll just survive
 
You were the sparkle in your daddy’s eye
He gave his life so that we could fly
To start all over, but we still feel the ties
Of what was lost in a blood feud war
The cries of anger call out for more
 
Put your pistols away
Live to fight another day yeah yeah
Darlin’ we don’t need to die
No, tonight we’ll just survive
 
If we want to keep breathing
We must be moving on
Stop it all from repeating
The damage that was done
 
Sometimes you touch me
Sometime you punch me
And I will stand by you
Through mass confusion
Have no illusion
We are part of the few
Who've seen a gun
From both sides
Should of been killed
But we stand here alive
With two fine horses
I say we ride
To make that final shore
And step away from that deadly door.

Put your pistols away
Live to fight another day yeah yeah
Darlin’ we don’t need to die
No, tonight we’ll just survive
Tonight we'll just survive.
