Legend in Your Own Time
Well I have known youSince you were a small boyAnd your mama used to say"My boy is gonna grow up and beSome kind of leader some day"
Then you'd turn on the radioAnd sing with the singer in the bandYour mama would say to you"This isn't exactly what we had planned"
But you're a legend in your own timeA hero in the footlightsPlaying tunes to fit your rhymeBut a legend's only a lonely boyWhen he goes home alone.
And though I know youStill have the heart of that small boyWell, you lend it out far too muchAnd no one woman loving youCan ever feel that she's been really touched.
Then you turn on the radioAnd sing with the singer in the bandThink kind of sadly to yourselfThis isn't exactly what you had planned.
But you're a legend in your own timeA hero in the footlightsPlaying tunes to fit your rhymeBut a legend's only a lonely boyWhen he goes home alone.
Well a legend's only a lonely boyWhen he goes home alone.
