Set text on one vertical line

Question

I want something to look like this:

some words: ducks don't like gooses
            but gooses like ducks

and I have this code

{\noindent some words: ducks don't like gooses \\ but gooses like ducks}\\[2\baselineskip]

which gives me this

some words: ducks don't like gooses
but gooses like ducks

How would I achieve the first?

Does this https://tex.stackexchange.com/q/7008/105447 help? – gusbrs Apr 25 '18 at 12:58 — gusbrs, Apr 25 '18 at 12:58

Something like this should do what you want:

\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}

    \begin{tabbing}
        Some words: \= ducks don't like gooses \\
        \> but gooses like ducks
        \end{tabbing}
\end{document}
