An only child alone and wild ... a cabinet makers son
His hands were meant for different work and his heart was known to none
He left his home and went his lone ... and solitary way
And he gave to me a gift I know ... I never can repay
A quiet man of music ... denied a simpler fate
He tried to be a soldier once ... but his music couldnt wait
He earned his love through discipline ... a thundering velvet hand
His gentle means of sculpting souls ... took me years to understand
The leader of the band is tired ... and his eyes are growing old
But his blood runs through my instrument ... and his song is in my soul
My life has been a poor attempt ... to imitate the man
Im just a living legacy ... to the leader of the band
My brothers lives were different ... for they heard another call
One went to Chicago ... And the other to St. Paul
And Im in Colorado ... when Im not in some hotel
Living out this life Ive chose ... and come to know so well
BREAK
I thank you for the music ... and your stories of the road
I thank you for the freedom ... when it came my time to go
I thank you for the kindness ... and the times when you got tough
And papa I dont think I said ... I love you near enough
The leader of the band is tired ... and his eyes are growing old
But his blood runs through my instrument ... and his song is in my soul
My life has been a poor attempt ... to imitate the man
Im just a living legacy ... to the leader of the band
I am the living legacy ... to the leader of ... the band
