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
