Writer: Bill McDavid



I've always been wild

The one always jumpin' the gun

Through all the pain I had to stay on the run

You only live once has always been my lifes decree

Never given a choice I had to march to the drummer in me



When I was young the writing was there on the wall

I feared if I danced to this tune the Fiddler would call

Now wouldn't you konw that's just how it turned out to be

Never given a choice I had to march to the drummer in me



Me and the Drummer, seems like were always alone

Me and the Drummer, we dance a whole different song

With or without you, the feeling will always be strong

With or without you, Me and the Drummer move on



The loves of my life

They all think I'm heartless and cold

No way to know that I love them Down in my soul

God grant may one wish, I know just what it would be

That they'd all understand and forgive that old drummer and me
