[00:02.85]This is one of my favourite songs in the whole world
[00:04.30]And I dedicate this tonight to my dad
[00:30.21]An only child, alone and wild, a cabinet maker’s son
[00:36.64]His hands were meant for different work
[00:39.30]But his heart was known to none
[00:43.34]He left his home and went his lone and solitary way
[00:49.42]And he gave to me a gift I know I never can repay
[01:02.57]A quiet man of music, denied a simpler fate
[01:08.91]He tried to be a soldier once but his music wouldn’t wait
[01:15.93]He earned his love through discipline, a thund’ring, velvet hand
[01:22.32]His gentle means of sculpting souls took me years to understand
[01:31.13]The leader of the band is tired and his eyes are growing old
[01:37.81]But his blood runs through my instrument and his song is in my soul
[01:45.44]My life has been a poor attempt to imitate the man
[01:51.68]I’m just a living legacy to the leader of the band
[02:04.70]My brothers’ lives were different, for they heard another call.
[02:11.18]One went to Chicago and the other to Saint Paul
[02:18.48]And I’m in Colorado, when I’m not in some hotel
[02:24.85]Living out this life I’ve chosen, come to know so well
[02:33.94]The leader of the band is tired and his eyes are growing old
[02:40.39]But his blood runs through my instrument and his song is in my soul
[02:47.64]My life has been a poor attempt to imitate the man
[02:54.01]I’m just a living legacy to the leader of the band
[03:26.69]I thank you for your music and your stories of the road
[03:33.65]I thank you for the freedom when it came my time to go
[03:40.32]I thank you for the kindness and the times when you got tough
[03:46.52]Papa, I don’t think I said “I love you” near enough
[03:56.04]The leader of the band is tired and his eyes are growing old
[04:02.48]But his blood runs through my instrument and his song is in my soul
[04:10.04]My life has been a poor attempt to imitate the man
[04:16.49]I’m just a living legacy to the leader of the band
[04:23.74]I am the living legacy to the leader of the band
