The Hard Man

Ramrod straight and true blue 
With just a gaze he would look right through
He could tell those who were weak
And were hiding something to secrete

He would walk into a room 
And would turn the jukebox to his tune
Always sitting with his back to the wall
Drinking his beer slowly was his call

The stories told were of tough men
Who could use their fists in the end
But they could never beat him in a fight
So he would go and do whatever he would like.
