The Ballad of Daniel P. Taylor
By James [Jimmy] Chatterton
 
(Song)
 
God tell me why, why do good men die?
They expire so fast, you're left with a tear in your eye.
It was to early to enter the city in the sky.
But lord, let this good man fly
He rode like McGrath, but guts, he had more
He had too much to live on for
A friend of mine and so much more
Daniel Taylor, man of hardcore
 
Chorus:
Why oh why do good men die?
Leaving all their friends behind.
All they do is grieve and cry.
Oblivious memories in their minds.
 
Lord why did you take him?
Nothing ever used to break him.
He would have been one of the greats.
Touring Arenacross in all 50 states.
Lord why did you take his life?
Leaving me with sorrow and strife.
Though I never met him, I still feel the pain.
The fact that he's gone is driving me insane.
 
Chorus:
...But, Why oh why do good men die?
Leaving all their friends behind.
All they do is grieve and cry.
Oblivious memories in their minds.
 
Daniel Taylor, this song is for you.
Daniel Taylor, if only you knew.
Daniel Taylor, on behalf of your crew
Daniel Taylor, we miss you.
