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 thund'ring 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 thru' 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 the living legacy
To the leader of the band


Mirror lyrics:

To the leader of the band
I am the living legacy
To the leader of the band
I'm just a living legacy
My life has been a poor attempt to imitate the man
And his song is in my soul
But his blood runs through my instrument
Is tired and his eyes are growing old
The leader of the band

"I love you" near enough
And papa I don't think I said
And the times when you got tough
I thank you for the kindness
When it came my time to go
I thank you for the freedom
And your stories of the road
I thank you for the music

And come to know so well
Living out this life I've chose
When I'm not in some hotel
And I'm in Colorado
One went to Chicago and the other to St. Paul
For they heard another call
My brother's lives were different

To the leader of the band
I'm just a living legacy
My life has been a poor attempt to imitate the man
And his song is in my soul
But his blood runs thru' my instrument
Is tired and his eyes are growing old
The leader of the band

Took me years to understand
His gentle means of sculpting souls
A thund'ring velvet hand
He earned his love through discipline
But his music wouldn't wait
He tried to be a soldier once
Denied a simpler fate
A quiet man of music

I know I never can repay
And he gave to me a gift
He left his home and went his lone and solitary way
And his heart was known to none
His hands were meant for different work
A cabinet maker's son
An only child alone and wild
