Legend In Your Own Time

Legend in Your Own Time (2015 Remaster) - Carly Simon

Well I have known you

Since you were a small boy

And your mama used to say

Were 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
