Bill Miller Different Drum
David had an eagle tatooed on his right arm He got it back in high school, when we were working on the farm He's still got that arrowhead we found when we were kids And I knew we would be like brothers, well just as long as we both lived I still got my memories of the night we jumped the fence Stole you uncle's pickup truck, drove it up around the bend You were the handsome cowboy, I the trusty brave We were looking for some fallen angel waiting to be saved Well for some it just comes so easy For others seems its bread in the bones But we danced to the beat of a different drum Then the one we heard at home I went to the mountains, I was reaching for the sun I was on fire for leaving, this angry battle I thought I'd won David dug his trenches, he fought his war at home My mountain soon was crumbling, God I was all alone Well for some it just comes so easy And for others its bread in their bones But I danced to the beat of a different drum Then the one I heard at home It was years before the smoke cleared, I could come back home again Look my father in the eyes, I could finally let him in For he was not the enemy, no the enemy was within And I knew the day they understood because David was my friend Well for some you know it comes so easy And for others seems its bread in their bones But I still danced to the beat of a different drum Then the one I heard at home I will always dance to the beat of a different drum For the warrior has come home
