CARLY SIMON lyrics : "Legend In Your Own Time"

(Carly Simon)
Well I have know 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

And your mama would say to you
This isn't exactly what she had planned.


But you're a legend in your own time
A hero in the footlights
Playin' tunes to fit your rhyme

But a legends only a lonely boy
When he goes home alone.


And although I know you
Still have the heart of that small boy
Well, you lend it out far too much

And no one woman loving you
Can ever tell if you've been really touched.


Then you turn on the radio
And sing with the singer in the band
And 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 legends only a lonely boy

When he goes home alone.
