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

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 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

I'm takin' control of my life,
I'm takin' control of my life
I'm t akin' control of my life now,
Right now, oh yeah
