All my life I've wanted just one friend  I've trusted people time and time again

But one bitter lesson I have found I have just one friend when the chips were down

My best friend is Samuel Colt the wicked sixgun that I tote

And he's always around when I need him most

Leap so fast in my hand and he'll knock down any man

Drink a toast to my best friend Samuel Colt



I had one friend I thought was the best but he turned out to be like all the rest

He tried to steal away the love I've found

He didn't make it for my best friend cut him down

My best friend is Samuel Colt...

[ guitar ]

The two of us will never ever part he's cold as steel and there's no one in my heart

We made a pair that catches every eye we'll together till the end my friend and I

My best friend is Samuel Colt...

Drink a toast to my best friend Samuel Colt
