That old song I am not even sure that is the name.

The song is called "Different Drum" it was written by Mike Nesmith of The Monkees. He gave the song to an up and coming band, The Stone Ponies, who's lead singer was Linda Ronstadt. They had a hit record with it. Nesmith performed it (sort of) on an episode of The Monkees and later recorded it with The First National Band, the band he formed after leaving The Monkees.

not sure if this is it... but if it is I figured I'd give you the lyrics to it also
TOTO LYRICS
"Home Of The Brave"
Everything's gonna be alright boys
Help is on the way
Hold your head up high now
There's no need to cry now
We're not running anymore
Leave the politics behind boys
They're not working anymore
There's so much more at stake here
It's make or break here
Haven't we been here before
Tell me what we're waiting for
You gotta remember
You don't have to be afraid
You still have the freedom to learn
And say what you wanna say
You gotta remember
Don't let 'em take away
The land we call the home of the brave
Who sings the song of the people
You don't hear it anymore
I heard it late last summer
To the beat of a different drummer
It never sounded quite like this before
So you're trying to shake this feeling
That trouble's right outside the door
You lie awake each dark night
Like a time bomb wound up too tight
A storm in waiting just offshore
Tell me what we're waiting for
You gotta remember
You don't have to be afraid
You still have the freedom to learn
And say what you wanna say
You gotta remember
Don't let 'em take away
The land we call the home of the brave
[Instrumental break]
You gotta remember
You don't have to be afraid
You still have the freedom to learn
And say what you wanna say
You gotta remember
Don't let 'em take away
The land we call the home of the brave
[repeats 2x]

I LOVED that album!
(I still have the vinyl)
Linda Ronstadt and the Stone Poneys. Different Drum. (Never knew the song was written by a Monkee!)
See what happens when you give them typewriters?

I think the song you're asking about is Linda Ronstadt's "Different Drum".
