An only child alone and wild[00:00:21]

A cabinet maker's son[00:00:24]

His hands were meant for different work[00:00:28]

And his heart was known to none[00:00:31]

He left his home and went his lone[00:00:35]

And solitary way[00:00:38]

And he gave to me[00:00:41]

A gift I know I never can repay[00:00:43]

A quiet man of music[00:00:48]

Denied a simpler fate[00:00:57]

He tried to be a soldier once[00:01:02]

But his music wouldn't wait[00:01:05]

He earned his love through discipline[00:01:07]

A thundering velvet hand[00:01:11]

His gentle means of sculpting souls[00:01:16]

Took me years to understand[00:01:19]

The leader of the band is tired[00:01:24]

And his eyes are growing old[00:01:26]

But his blood runs through my instrument[00:01:30]

And his song is in my soul[00:01:33]

My life has been a poor attempt[00:01:38]

To imitate the man[00:01:41]

I'm just a living legacy[00:01:44]

To the leader of the band[00:01:47]

My brothers' lives were different[00:01:58]

For they heard another call[00:02:00]

One went to Chicago[00:02:04]

And the other to St Paul[00:02:07]

And I'm in Colorado[00:02:12]

When I'm not in some hotel[00:02:15]

Living out this life I've chose[00:02:19]

And come to know so well[00:02:22]

I thank you for the music[00:02:48]

And your stories of the road[00:02:50]

I thank you for the freedom[00:02:55]

When it came my time to go[00:02:57]

I thank you for the kindness[00:03:02]

And the times when you got tough[00:03:04]

And papa I don't think[00:03:08]

I said "I love you" near enough[00:03:11]

The leader of the band is tired[00:03:16]

And his eyes are growing old[00:03:19]

But his blood runs through my instrument[00:03:21]

And his song is in my soul[00:03:25]

My life has been a poor attempt[00:03:30]

To imitate the man[00:03:33]

I'm just a living legacy[00:03:37]

To the leader of the band[00:03:40]

I am the living legacy[00:03:44]

To the leader of the band[00:03:47]
