Chuck Girard Album: Glow In The Dark Track: Old Dan Cotton Old Dan Cotton Lyrics (Chuck Girard) I remember old Dan Cotton, so old that he'd forgotten Just how long he'd been floatin' through this life He said that he'd fought against the Indians And his daddy was an old line trapper And he thinks that once or twice, he'd had a wife I used to go down by the river after school When old Dan was relaxin' with a fishpole And I'd ask him what he could offer a young, young boy Dan would start reminiscin' and sharin' his words of wisdom And I remember I used to listen to him with joy Old Dan, somethin' happenin' to you Yes, old Dan, somethin' happenin' to you I hope that you finally find what you're lookin' for Old Dan, somethin' happenin' to you Yes, old Dan, somethin' happenin' to you I hope that you finally find what you're lookin' for Then one day we couldn't find old Dan And for a while he didn't come around And I heard from the folks that he'd gone to the hills alone Well I admit I was a little bit worried Because Dan was so old and just a little foolhardy But I knew in my heart that he'd soon be a comin' back home Old Dan, somethin' happenin' to you Yes, old Dan, somethin' happenin' to you I hope that you finally find what you're lookin' for Old Dan, somethin' happenin' to you Yes, old Dan, somethin' happenin' to you I hope that you finally find what you're lookin' for Then came the message from old Doc Jones That Dan's time had finally come So I rushed to his side in the shack that he called home Inside my heart I was feelin' so sad But when I looked into that old man's eyes I felt such a peace 'cause I knew that he was goin' home He couldn't really speak'cause he was now so weak But he managed a tiny smile And in a glance I knew that he'd found What he was lookin' for I knew what he'd found in the woods that day 'Cause when I looked at him the very last time I looked into the face of a man who had found the Lord Old Dan, somethin' happened to you Yes, old Dan, somethin' happened to you I know that you finally found what you're lookin' for Old Dan, somethin' happened to you Yes, old Dan, somethin' happened to you You're still the old Dan that I love, but you're somethin' more ©1974 Dunamis Music
