Version 2 of the lyrics

1  An only child alone and wild   An only child                   1
1  Alone and wild1
  A cabinet maker's son  A cabinet maker's son
2  His hands were meant for different work   His hands were meant                       2
3  And his heart was known to none   For different work                       3
4  He left his home and went his lone   And       his heart was known            4
2  To none --2
3  He left his home3
4  And went his lone4
  And solitary way  And solitary way
  And he gave to me  And he gave to me
5  A gift I know I never can repay   A gift I know I never             5
6                can repay 6
  A quiet man of music  A quiet man of music
  Denied a simpler fate  Denied a simpler fate
  He tried to be a soldier once  He tried to be a soldier once
  But his music wouldn't wait  But his music wouldn't wait
7  He earned his love through discipline   He earned his love                      7
5  Through discipline5
  A thundering, velvet hand  A thundering, velvet hand
8  His gentle means of sculpting souls   His gentle means of                   8
9  Took me years to understand   sculpting souls                        9
10                                      Took me years to understand. 10
  The leader of the band is tired  The leader of the band is tired
  And his eyes are growing old  And his eyes are growing old
11  But his blood runs through my instrument   But his blood runs through                 11
12  And his song is in my soul   My instrument                         12
6  And his song is in my soul --6
  My life has been a poor attempt  My life has been a poor attempt
  To imitate the man  To imitate the man
  I'm just a living legacy  I'm just a living legacy
13  To the leader of the band   To the leader of the band. 13
14                                My brothers' lives were 14
15  My brothers' lives were different                               different 15
  For they heard another call  For they heard another call
  One went to Chicago  One went to Chicago
  And the other to St. Paul  And the other to St. Paul
  And I'm in Colorado  And I'm in Colorado
  When I'm not in some hotel  When I'm not in some hotel
  Living out this life I've chose  Living out this life I've chose
16  And come to know so well   And come to know so well. 16
1   1
  I thank you for the music  I thank you for the music
  And your stories of the road  And your stories of the road
  I thank you for the freedom  I thank you for the freedom
17  When it came my time to go       When it came my time to go -- 17
  I thank you for the kindness  I thank you for the kindness
  And the times when you got tough  And the times when you got tough
18  And, papa, I don't think      And, papa, I don't think I 18
19  I said, "I love you" near enough       Said 'I     love you' near enough -- 19

  The leader of the band is tired  The leader of the band is tired
  And his eyes are growing old  And his eyes are growing old
20  But his blood runs through my instrument   But his blood runs through                 20
21  And his song is in my soul   My instrument                         21
7  And his song is in my soul --7
  My life has been a poor attempt  My life has been a poor attempt
  To imitate the man  To imitate the man
