Too Tall Dan

There was a man; named, Too Tall Dan.
He was a stranger, a lonely drifter.
He held a gun a side his hand.
That! Too Tall Dan..
He held a gun a side his hand.
That! Too Tall Dan..
He held a gun a side his hand.
That! Too Tall Dan..

When he was young; yet, so brave and strong.
He showed his strength to other men.
He had the courage.
He had the pride.
He stood alone, with no one else.
A lone survivor..

Just a man! 
Named, Too Tall Dan.
He held a gun a side his hand.
That! Too Tall Dan...
He held a gun a side his hand.
That! Too Tall Dan...
He held a gun a side his hand.
That! Too Tall Dan...

Some felt his power.
His strength and courage.
He had a love for life.
A never ending spirit.

He put his life down.
To fight for freedom.
He fought for everything in life.
A new beginning.

Still a man! 
Named, Too Tall Dan.
He held a gun a side his hand.
That! Too Tall Dan..
He held a gun a side his hand.
That! Too Tall Dan...
He held a gun a side his hand..
That! Too Tall Dan..
