Karaoke Track: Leader Of The Band by Dan Fogelberg (Rare Cuts) - Karaoke Nerds

AN ONLY CHILD
ALONE AND WILD
A CABINET MAKER'S SON
HIS HANDS WERE MEANT
FOR DIFFERENT WORK
AND HIS HEART

WAS KNOWN TO NONE
HE LEFT HIS HOME
AND WENT HIS LONE

SOLITARY WAY
AND HE GAVE TO ME
A GIFT I KNOW

I NEVER CAN REPAY
A QUIET MAN OF MUSIC
DENIED A SIMPLER FATE
HE TRIED TO BE
A SOLDIER ONCE

BUT HIS MUSIC l

WOULDN'T WAIT
HE EARNED HIS LOVE
THROUGH DISCIPLINE

A THUNDERING
VELVET HAND
HIS GENTLE MEANS

OF SCULPTING SOULS
TOOK ME YEARS
TO UNDERSTAND
THE LEADER OF THE BAND
IS TIRED
AND HIS EYES

ARE GROWING OLD
BUT HIS BLOOD
RUNS THROUGH

MY INSTRUMENT
AND HIS SONG
IS IN MY SOUL

MY LIFE HAS BEEN
A POOR ATTEMPT
TO IMITATE THE MAN
I'M JUST A LIVING LEGACY
TO THE

LEADER OF THE BAND l

MY BROTHER'S LIVES
WERE DIFFERENT
FOR THEY HEARD

ANOTHER CALL
ONE WENT TO CHICAGO

AND THE OTHER l

TO ST. PAUL
AND I'M IN COLORADO
WHEN I'M NOT

IN SOME HOTEL
LIVING OUT
THIS LIFE l CHOSE

AND COME TO KNOW
SO WELL

(INSTRUMENTAL)

l THANK YOU

FOR THE MUSIC

OF THE ROAD

I THANK YOU FOR

I THANK YOU

FOR THE MUSIC
AND YOUR STORIES
OF THE ROAD

I THANK YOU FOR
THE FREEDOM
WHEN IT CAME

MY TIME TO GO
l THANK YOU FOR
THE KINDNESS

AND THE TIMES
WHEN YOU GOT TOUGH
AND PAPA

I DON'T THINK I SAID
I LOVE YOU
NEAR ENOUGH

THE LEADER OF THE BAND
IS TIRED
AND HIS EYES

ARE GROWING OLD
BUT HIS BLOOD
RUNS THROUGH

MY INSTRUMENT
AND HIS SONG
IS IN MY SOUL

MY LIFE HAS BEEN
A POOR ATTEMPT
TO IMITATE THE MAN
I'M JUST A LIVING LEGACY
