about
This is a lesser-known Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers song from my favorite album of theirs, ‘Into the Great Wide Open.’ The original was released shortly after the first Gulf War. My version takes the tempo down but keeps Tom’s subtle demand for peace, exploring the message in modern times with wailing vocals and brooding tones.
lyrics
Two gunslingers, went riding down the street
And one said "I don't want to 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 missus
This is the last one of these gunfights
You're ever gonna drag me to
Cause 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
I said 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 takin' control of my life now
Right now, oh yeah
I said now, right now, oh yeah
Oh now, right now, oh yeah
