INTRO: G A7 G D
D G D D7
I'd see him every mornin', ridin' down the street
G D E7 A7
Old wore-out bicycle with the tattered old seat
G D G
Pickin' up the cans that he finds by the road
D A7 G
People say that Casey is a brick short of a load
D G D D7
Casey's been around here forever and a day
G D E7 A7
I've heard a lot of rumors how he came to be this way
G D G
The old folks they remember a little boy in school
D A7 D
And they say that he was different from the other kids they knew
G A7 D D7
He's just dancin' to the beat of a different drum
G A7 D
Casey never did fit in
G A7 D G
But every night he thanks the Lord for everything He's done
D A7 G
'Cause Casey knows He listens to prayers from anyone
D G D D7
Anyplace he needs to go, Casey knows the way
G A7 E7 A7
He must pass by the five and dime twenty times a day
G D G
Passin' by the schoolyard, children holler names
D A7 G
And a forty-year-old memory haunts him once again
D G D D7
I still see him every mornin', ridin' down the street
G D E7 A7
That old wore-out bicycle with the tattered old seat
G D G
And he hardly shows a wrinkle on his old weathered face
D A7 D
I guess he never worried much about bein' in the race
CHORUS
D A7 G
And it don't matter if he dances to a different drum
OUTRO: D
