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
