A Win or a Loss
Does it have to be a win or a loss?
Must we be celebrated or defeated?
This town is big enough for both of us
You and me
Four ships jockey for passage
Inlet closing and frozen with fear
The first hit the fourth
And the third hit the second
Fire on deck - the end is near
Think of your mother
And the promise you made
See the beauty of the shoreline from the waters we wade in
It doesn't have to be over and done
If you go under I haven't won
Does it have to be a win or a loss?
Must we be celebrated or defeated?
This town is big enough for both of us
You and me
There's a gun on the table in the opening scene
Let's let it lie if you know what I mean
The ammunition comes at too high a price
A friendship isn't worth the sacrifice
It's not okay if you're corralled
By another lost sheriff who'll be outgeneralled
I want a governor who will govern me
One who agrees we can disagree
Does it have to be a win or a loss?
Must we be celebrated or defeated?
This town is big enough for both of us
You and me
A seeker of truth will only find folly
In a land where it's all how you feel
I could rob Peter to pay Paul and Molly
Nobody makes a dollar in that deal
I'll take a life jacket and a helping hand
Not every battle is a final stand
All or nothing in a constant fight
Take it away
I don't want that right
Does it have to be a win or a loss?
Must we be celebrated or defeated?
This town is big enough for both of us
You and me
Call up the courage to balk at the cost
You can leave a battle cry unheeded
This town is big enough for both of us
You and me
Must we be celebrated or defeated?
This town is big enough for both of us
You and me
Four ships jockey for passage
Inlet closing and frozen with fear
The first hit the fourth
And the third hit the second
Fire on deck - the end is near
Think of your mother
And the promise you made
See the beauty of the shoreline from the waters we wade in
It doesn't have to be over and done
If you go under I haven't won
Does it have to be a win or a loss?
Must we be celebrated or defeated?
This town is big enough for both of us
You and me
There's a gun on the table in the opening scene
Let's let it lie if you know what I mean
The ammunition comes at too high a price
A friendship isn't worth the sacrifice
It's not okay if you're corralled
By another lost sheriff who'll be outgeneralled
I want a governor who will govern me
One who agrees we can disagree
Does it have to be a win or a loss?
Must we be celebrated or defeated?
This town is big enough for both of us
You and me
A seeker of truth will only find folly
In a land where it's all how you feel
I could rob Peter to pay Paul and Molly
Nobody makes a dollar in that deal
I'll take a life jacket and a helping hand
Not every battle is a final stand
All or nothing in a constant fight
Take it away
I don't want that right
Does it have to be a win or a loss?
Must we be celebrated or defeated?
This town is big enough for both of us
You and me
Call up the courage to balk at the cost
You can leave a battle cry unheeded
This town is big enough for both of us
You and me
