Leader of the Band Lyrics – Zac Brown
Singer: Zac Brown
Title: Leader of the Band
This is one of my favorite songs in the whole world
And I dedicate this tonight to my dad
An only child, alone and wild, he’s a cabinet maker’s son
His hands were meant for different work
But his heart was known to none
He left his home and went his lone and 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 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
Brothers’ lives were different, for they heard another call
And one went to Chicago and the other to Saint Paul
But I’m in Colorado, when I’m not in some hotel
Living out this life I’ve chosen and come to know so well
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
Thank you for your music and your stories of the road
Thank you for the freedom when it came my time to go
Thank you for the kindness and the times when you got tough
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 to the leader of the band
I am the living legacy to the leader of the band
