lyrics

I AM THE DRUMMER
I am a spirit flying in the sky
looking on down from way up high
When i was 20 watched my life go by
i am the drummer on hiway 69

I loved heavy metal the screaming guitars,
The pounding beat i could listen for hours
I was a child when i picked up the sticks
and i loved playing for kicks
i am the drummer on hiway 69

Laval bouchard took a plate of steel
a welding torch and an artists feel
he made drum kit on the edge of the woods
a steel sculpture to remember for good
i am the drummer on hiway 69

It's a reminder that life is short you've got to cherish every note slow down and enjoy the ride and watch out for the other guy
I am the drummer on hiway 69
