Artist/Band: Carly Simon
Lyrics for Song: Legend In Your Own Time
Lyrics for Album: Anticipation [1971]



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
