He pushed past the doors of the Y'all Come Back Saloon From the shadows he could see the day turned high noon His footing was rock steady as he stepped into the street He had a meeting to kill the next man he would meet The wind kicked up some red dust that bothered him none To his hand nothing felt better than the cold grip of his gun With steely-eyed vision he could see the mountain and snow Who would see the Great Beyond only one man would know God gave common sense to the horse and everyman But you had to be plain loco to go against Sheriff Dan In the blink of an eye from the holster to the blast Lightning had nothing on Dan cause Dan was fast Bad Billy rounded the corner with the sun at his back But the badge was all he could see and Dan dressed in black These two men had differences in the way things should run Now everything would be settled by the duel in the sun The town folk filled in the shadows along the street The Mayor lawyers and wranglers all wanted to see Dark debutantes ran to see what the day would bring A drunk preacher and faithless choir tuned up to sing This is business as usual Dan began to think Early that morning he kissed Delores at the sink He'd be home for dinner the sun moved thru the sky Delores was hard at work baking Dan a cherry pie Dan sunk his boots into the streets of red sand He kept a close eye on Bad Billy's left hand His jaw got taut and the town stood still A collective breath was held at the moment to kill Under Stetsons black eyes glared from 20 feet apart Everything went quiet except for the town hall clock An alley cat bolted between the two armed men In a flash Dan drew on Bad Billy with his Remington The thunder of gunfire echoed forever through the town The townsfolk took to the street to see who went down Bad Billy's shot took off a piece of Dan's right ear But Bad Billy had flown backward 10 feet in the air Dan stood alone like a hidden river so silently still There's plenty of lost stories buried yonder in the hill Dan holstered his weapon the day was over and done The townsfolk raised a glass to the duel in the sun
