Takes
Lyrics
[verse]
I know you're looking for a house and a ring
A quiet life with all the comforts it can bring
But I was born to wander, born to roam
I can't pretend that I'm the settling-down kind
[chorus]
I hear a different drum than the one you're keeping time to
I move to my own rhythm, it's the only way I know
It isn't that I don't love you, it's just the way I'm made
I've got to follow this beat that won't fade
[verse]
You'll find someone who wants the very things you do
Someone built for staying, someone built for you
I hope you understand it's not about what's wrong
I just hear a different kind of song
[chorus]
I hear a different drum than the one you're keeping time to
I move to my own rhythm, it's the only way I know
It isn't that I don't love you, it's just the way I'm made
I've got to follow this beat that won't fade
[bridge]
Maybe down the road our paths will cross again
Maybe by then I'll have outrun the wind
But right now I have to go where the beat is calling strong
Even if it means I sing this song alone
[chorus]
I hear a different drum than the one you're keeping time to
I move to my own rhythm, it's the only way I know
It isn't that I don't love you, it's just the way I'm made
I've got to follow this beat that won't fade
