Carly Simon - Legend in Your Own TimeLyrics

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 Playing 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 loving 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 Playing 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.
