Keep Beating in Our Minds

Intro

Mm-hmm

Oh-oh

Verse 1

Down along the canal in Valley View

Where the Cuyahoga bends and curls

Long before a single wagon rolled through

A people lived here in this world

Pre-Chorus

Can you hear the drums still drumming

Can you see the fires glowing

Listen close and keep on humming

Keep the old ones going

Chorus

Let the drums keep beating in our minds

Let the drums keep beating in our minds

In the valley where the crooked river winds

Let the drums keep beating in our minds

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh, keep beating

Oh-oh, keep beating

Verse 2

Stop at Oxbow Orchard if you can

Corn and pumpkins used to grow

Right across the road a mound of land

Holds a story folks should know

A girl works there and she smiles so kind

Takes the time to talk to you

If you stand real still you just might find

The drums come drifting through

Chorus

Let the drums keep beating in our minds

Let the drums keep beating in our minds

In the valley where the crooked river winds

Let the drums keep beating in our minds

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh, keep beating

Oh-oh, keep beating

Bridge

Once a month in summer hear the banjo ring

Fiddle crying soft and low

Every soul is welcome come and sing

Everybody's welcome don't you know

Chorus

Let the drums keep beating in our minds

Let the drums keep beating in our minds

In the valley where the crooked river winds

Let the drums keep beating in our minds

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh, keep beating

Oh-oh, keep beating

Mm-hmm
