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 |
