Legend In Your Own Time

Well I have known you
 Since you were a small boy
 And your mama used to say
 "My boy is gonna grow up and be
 Some kind of leader some day"
 Then you'd turn on the radio
 And sing with the singer in the band
 Your mama would say to you
 "This isn't exactly what we had planned"
 But you're a legend in your own time
 A hero in the footlights
 Playin' tunes to fit your rhyme
 But a legend's only a lonely boy
 When he goes home alone.
 And though I know you
 Still have the heart of that small boy
 Well, you lend it out far too much
 And no one woman lovin' you
 Can ever feel that she's been really touched
 Then you turn on the radio
 And sing with the singer in the band
 Think kind of sadly to yourself
 This isn't exactly what you had planned
 But you're a legend in your own time
 A hero in the footlights
 Playin' tunes to fit your rhyme
 But a legend's only a lonely boy
 When he goes home alone
 Well a legend's only a lonely boy
 When he goes home alone
