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
