[00:14.19]An only child, alone and wild [00:23.39]...
[00:14.19]An only child, alone and wild
[00:23.39]A cabinet maker's son
[00:27.08]His hands were meant for different work
[00:30.46]And his heart was known to none
[00:34.60]He left his home and went his lone
[00:37.57]And solitary way
[00:40.89]And he gave to me a gift I know
[00:44.50]I never can repay
[00:54.53]A quiet man of music
[00:56.81]Denied a simpler fate
[01:01.52]He tried to be a soldier once
[01:04.12]But his music wouldn't wait
[01:08.57]He earned his love through discipline
[01:11.35]A thundering, velvet hand
[01:15.17]His gentle means of sculpting souls
[01:18.32]Took me years to understand
[01:22.97]The leader of the band is tired
[01:26.02]And his eyes are growin' old
[01:29.02]But his blood runs through my instrument
[01:32.39]And his song is in my soul
[01:37.10]My life has been a poor attempt
[01:40.04]To imitate the man
[01:43.78]Oh, I'm just a living legacy
[01:47.12]To the leader of the band
[01:57.37]My brothers' lives were different
[01:59.56]For they heard another call
[02:03.80]One went to Chicago
[02:06.36]And the other to St. Paul
[02:11.28]And I'm in Colorado
[02:13.92]When I'm not in some hotel
[02:18.06]Living out this life I've chose
[02:21.16]And come to know so well
[02:45.37]
[02:46.48]I thank you for the music
[02:49.67]And your stories of the road
[02:53.94]I thank you for the freedom
[02:56.40]When it came my time to go
[03:01.10]I thank you for your kindness
[03:03.62]And the times when you got tough
[03:07.65]And Papa, I don't think I said
[03:10.64]"I love you" near enough
[03:15.23]The leader of the band is tired
[03:18.30]And his eyes are growin' old
[03:21.39]But his blood runs through my instrument
[03:24.84]And his song is in my soul
[03:29.34]My life has been a poor attempt
[03:32.83]To imitate the man
[03:35.89]Oh, I'm just a living legacy
[03:39.27]To the leader of the band
[03:43.22]I am a living legacy
[03:46.00]To the leader of the band
[03:53.71]
