John Daniel came to town
one summer afternoon
Wearin' dirty work clothes so
everyone presumed
He was just another logger from the loggin'
camp nearby
And he was, but there was somethin'
different in John Daniel's eyes
Ooh, John Daniel,
tell me where did you come from
Tell me where is it you've been
John Daniel,
tell me why are you different from all of these other men
John Daniel, there's something about
you that I don't quite understand
John Daniel,
do you hold the answer to a higher plan?
How did you like the song?
