Intro

[E7#5]

 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

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 she's 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.... (Ab lib)
