Back and forth inside my mind
Like an old porch swing, go side to side
My head don't know where to go
I'm trying to find where I belong
I feel it lies inside a song
you can say what you want to
you can do what you really love
to the beat of your own drum
You can feel, you can feel, all you want to
You can walk to the rhythm that binds you
to the beat of your own drum
If you wanna join the cheerlead squad
And date the star football heartthrob
With a promise ring, do your thing
Or if you wanna write your life in a song
while the crowd sings along
you can say what you want to
you can do what you really love
To the beat, to the beat of your own drum
you can feel how you want to
You can walk to the rhythm
to the beat of your own drum
To the beat, to the beat,
To the beat, to the beat,
you can say what you want to
You can do, you can do what you truly love
To the beat, to the beat of your own drum
You can say, you can say what you want to
you can do what you really love
To the beat, to the beat of your own drum
you can feel how you want to
You can walk to the rhythm
to the beat of your own drum you
