One More Notch (Put Down Your Gun)

Many towns, many paces
Seem to melt into one
I'll made a name for myself
At the end of a gun
I played this part, oh, so long
I now believe it myself

I watched the clock
One more notch

He called me out in noon
Just a kid dressed in black
In less than an hour he'll be dead in his tracks
Wheels of faith are in motion
A tragic play in reverse

I watched the clock
One more notch

Oh, what a lonely road
The winters have come and gone
I've seen so many things
Things that I can't explain
I was once young and mad
Look at me I'm the last of my breed
Please look at me

If he would only listen
I'd say put down your gun
You're young and full of promise
Don't live your life on the run
His eyes just looked through me
I know how this chapter ends

I watched the clock
One more notch

Spread peace and love
We must live as one
Don't live on the run
Put down your gun
Don't live in fear
There'll be no more tears
Spread peace and love
We must live as one
