The Leader of the Band - Cherish The Ladies[00:00:02]

An only child alone and wild [00:00:26]

A cabinet maker's son[00:00:28]

His hands were meant for different work[00:00:32]

And his heart was known to none[00:00:34]

He left his home and[00:00:39]

Went his lone and solitary way[00:00:40]

And he gave to me a gift[00:00:45]

I know I never can repay[00:00:47]

A quiet man of music denied a simpler fate[00:00:51]

He tried to be a soldier once [00:00:58]

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

He earned his love through discipline [00:01:05]

A thundering velvet hand[00:01:08]

His gentle means of sculpting souls[00:01:11]

Took me years to understand[00:01:14]

The leader of the band is tired[00:01:18]

And his eyes are growing old[00:01:21]

But his blood runs through[00:01:24]

My instrument and his song is in my soul[00:01:26]

My life has been a poor attempt[00:01:31]

To imitate the man[00:01:34]

I'm just a living legacy[00:01:37]

To the leader of the band[00:01:40]

My brother's lives were different[00:02:16]

For they heard another call[00:02:18]

One went to Chicago[00:02:22]

And the other to St Paul[00:02:24]

And I'm in Colorado[00:02:28]

When I'm not in some hotel[00:02:31]

Living out this life[00:02:34]

I've chose and come to know so well[00:02:36]

I thank you for the music[00:02:41]

And your stories of the road[00:02:43]

I thank you for the freedom[00:02:47]

When it came my time to go[00:02:50]

I thank you for the kindness[00:02:53]

And the times when you got tough[00:02:56]

Sometimes I don't think[00:03:00]

I said I love you near enough[00:03:02]

The leader of the band is tired[00:03:07]

And his eyes are growing old[00:03:09]

But his blood runs through[00:03:12]

My instrument and his song is in my soul[00:03:14]

My life has been a poor attempt[00:03:20]

To imitate the man[00:03:23]

I'm just a living legacy[00:03:28]

To the leader of the band[00:03:33]
