Lyrics
The Ballad Of Dan
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I'm out on the range surveying the land
Thinking of the job that's to be done
My life is hard but I don't mind
Men like me that's how the West was won
I stand the pain and the suffering
For on the trail I am king
On doors I knock and on bells I ring
Always sure that I will get the sale
Chorus
For I am Dan the insurance sales man
In a beat up Chevrolet I do ride
I rope them in and tie them up and bind them legally
For on the dotted line I make them sign
Well, the door swings wide, and I sense my prey
Ready to fall victim to my pitch
I tell him all about the plan
With all of it's inherent benefits
If you lose an arm it's a thousand bucks
Lose both of them and get twice as much
And if you should die well then bless your luck
You'll be just raking in the cash
Chorus
The sucker signs the deal is done
Time for me to get back on the road
A lonely man out on the land
Out where the wind can blow so cold
I ride into the setting sun
With the knowledge of a job well done
But I ca't rest until everyone
Has become properly insured
Chorus
