歌词

[00:25.250] An only child alone and wild
[00:28.900] A cabinet maker's son
[00:32.780] His hands were meant for different work
[00:36.370] And his heart was known to none
[00:41.390] He left his home and
[00:43.180] went his lone and solitary way
[00:48.890] And he gave to me a gift I know
[00:52.370] I never can repay
[00:52.920] I never can repay
[00:59.750] A quiet man of music
[01:03.030] Denied a simpler fate
[01:07.790] He tried to be a soldier once
[01:11.140] But his music wouldn't wait
[01:15.980] He earned his love through discipline
[01:19.230] A thundering, velvet hand
[01:23.360] His gentle means of sculpting souls
[01:27.260] Took me years to understand.
[01:34.390] The leader of the band is tired
[01:37.680] And his eyes are growing old
[01:41.690] But his blood runs through my instrument
[01:45.520] And his song is in my soul
[01:50.500] My life has been a poor attempt
[01:54.590] To imitate the man
[01:57.720] I'm just a living legacy
[02:02.250] To the leader of the band.
[02:08.960] My brothers' lives were different
[02:11.760] For they heard another call
[02:16.740] One went to Chicago
[02:20.390] And the other to St. Paul
[02:25.200] And I'm in Colorado
[02:28.050] When I'm not in some hotel
[02:32.910] Living out this life I've chose
[02:36.480] And come to know so well.
[03:01.980] I thank you for the music
[03:04.670] And your stories of the road
[03:09.840] I thank you for the freedom
[03:12.880] when it came my time to go
[03:18.030] I thank you for the kindness
[03:21.150] And the times when you got tough
[03:25.210] And papa I don't think I
[03:28.370] Said 'I love you' near enough
[03:38.600] The leader of the band is tired
[03:41.810] And his eyes are growing old
[03:45.760] But his blood runs through my instrument
[03:49.870] And his song is in my soul
[03:54.560] My life has been a poor attempt
[03:58.250] To imitate the man
[04:02.080] I'm just a living legacy
[04:08.610] To the leader of the band
