Different Drum Lyrics - Singles - Bill Miller

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
