Verse 1

Dre : All you see is the sun ,

reflecting off of the gun ,

I'm ready for this showdown ,

to go down at 1 ,

sweat on my brow ,

lets settle it now ,

i'ma show you how real cowboys get down ,

im polishin' gold ,

waitin' for this drama ta unfold ,

I got a blunt rolled ,

feelin bold ,

gangsta's blood run cold ,

its time to reload the soul 45 cold ,

the winds gusty ,

top muddy and dusty ,

busta couple shots ta make sho i'm not rusty ,

it's past noon he should be here soon ,

sip a little moonshine outside a saloon ,

all the sudden I can hear the sound a hooves ,

sounds like a thousand wolves ,

I cock back ,

toastin the holster and froze ,

I pose like a poster ,

he's closer than close ,

I hold the heat sturdy ,

I heard he fights dirty ,

but i'ma put thirty inside em' and leave early ,

just when I went to fill it with hot lead ,

I put the gun to his head and this is what he said

Slim : You neva met me?

You'll probably neva see me again ,

but I know you the name's Slim , you want revenge?

then don't shoot ,

i'm in the same boots as you ,

i'm tellin' the truth ,

I got a price on my head too

Chorus

Cowboy : (cuz we) ride like a cowboy towards the sun ,

life ain't fun when you're on the run ,

gotcha gold and you gotcha gun ,

life as an outlaw's just begun ,

gotcha shotgun by you're side ,

gotcha horse and you gotcha pride ,

you ride til' they're ain't no place to hide ,

it's sad cuz the bad guys always die

Verse 2

Dre : He was cheatin ,

seen by the look on his face ,

he said take ten paces , shit ,

I took eight ,

I spun around and aimed straight for the brain,

my shit went bang but it only fired a blank he said

(shady: you need bullets , hurry up run)

I put a clip in the gun and pointed at his lungs ,

we pulled two at the same time and stood stunned

Slim : go ahead , shoot me , but i'm not the one you want

Dre : I figgered he was tellin the truth

thats why I didnt shoot him ,

see what we gonna do , it's on you

Slim : Do you recall
