Carly Simon - Legend In Your Own Time lyrics

(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.
