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
