Leader of the Band

An only child alone and wild

  • An only child alone and wild
  • A cabinet maker's son
  • His hands were meant for different work
  • And his heart was known to none
  • He left his home
  • And went his lone and solitary way
  • And he gave to me a gift
  • I know I never can repay
  • A quiet man of music denied a simpler fate
  • He tried to be a soldier once
  • But his music wouldn't wait
  • He earned his love through discipline
  • A thundering velvet hand
  • His gentle means of sculpting souls
  • Took me years to understand
  • The leader of the band is tired
  • And his eyes are growing old
  • But his blood runs through my instrument
  • And his song is in my soul
  • My life has been a poor attempt
  • To imitate the man
  • I'm just a living legacy
  • To the leader of the band
  • My brother's lives were different for
  • They heard another call
  • One went to Chicago
  • And the other to St Paul
  • And I'm in Colorado
  • When I'm not in some hotel
  • Living out this life I've chose
  • And come to know so well
  • I thank you for the music
  • And your stories of the road
  • I thank you for the freedom
  • When it came my time to go
  • I thank you for the kindness
  • And the times when you got tough
  • And papa I don't think I said
  • I love you near enough
  • The leader of the band is tired
  • And his eyes are growing old
  • But his blood runs through my instrument
  • And his song is in my soul
  • My life has been a poor attempt
  • To imitate the man
  • I'm just a living legacy
  • To the leader of the band
  • I am a living legacy
  • To the leader of the band
