Legend In Your Own Time Lyrics
(Carly Simon)Well I have know youSince you were a small boyAnd your mama used to sayMy boy is gonna grow up and beSome kind of leader some day.Then you'd turn on the radioAnd sing with the singer in the bandAnd your mama would say to youThis isn't exactly what she had planned.But you're a legend in your own timeA hero in the footlightsPlayin' tunes to fit your rhymeBut a legends only a lonely boyWhen he goes home alone.And although I know youStill have the heart of that small boyWell, you lend it out far too muchAnd no one woman loving youCan ever tell if you've been really touched.Then you turn on the radioAnd sing with the singer in the bandAnd think kind of sadly to yourselfThis isn't exactly what you had planned.But you're a legend in your own timeA hero in the footlightsPlayin' tunes to fit your rhymeBut a legends only a lonely boyWhen he goes home alone.
