(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.
