[00:21.40]An only child alone and wild
[00:24.21]A cabinet maker's son
[00:28.39]His hands were meant for different work
[00:31.26]And his heart was known to none
[00:35.00]He left his home and went his lone
[00:38.32]And solitary way
[00:41.67]And he gave to me
[00:43.74]A gift I know I never can repay
[00:48.74]A quiet man of music
[00:57.96]Denied a simpler fate
[01:02.53]He tried to be a soldier once
[01:05.07]But his music wouldn't wait
[01:07.01]He earned his love through discipline
[01:11.39]A thundering velvet hand
[01:16.07]His gentle means of sculpting souls
[01:19.56]Took me years to understand
[01:24.04]The leader of the band is tired
[01:26.85]And his eyes are growing old
[01:30.10]But his blood runs through my instrument
[01:33.48]And his song is in my soul
[01:38.96]My life has been a poor attempt
[01:41.34]To imitate the man
[01:44.65]I'm just a living legacy
[01:47.89]To the leader of the band
[01:58.56]My brothers' lives were different
[02:00.81]For they heard another call
[02:04.93]One went to Chicago
[02:07.73]And the other to St Paul
[02:12.28]And I'm in Colorado
[02:15.09]When I'm not in some hotel
[02:19.21]Living out this life I've chose
[02:22.15]And come to know so well
[02:48.84]I thank you for the music
[02:50.78]And your stories of the road
[02:55.45]I thank you for the freedom
[02:57.70]When it came my time to go
[03:02.20]I thank you for the kindness
[03:04.82]And the times when you got tough
[03:08.62]And papa I don't think
[03:11.06]I said "I love you" near enough
[03:16.36]The leader of the band is tired
[03:19.42]And his eyes are growing old
[03:21.11]But his blood runs through my instrument
[03:25.78]And his song is in my soul
[03:30.03]My life has been a poor attempt
[03:33.39]To imitate the man
[03:37.01]I'm just a living legacy
[03:40.38]To the leader of the band
[03:44.07]I am the living legacy
[03:47.44]To the leader of the band
