Lyrics

LEGACY

Daddy always said I was born to hang
Momma always worried I’d wind up leading a gang
All I ever wanted to do was rock and roll

I played the few I knew till my fingers were sore
Jammed with lots of people who taught me a few more
Wrote a few myself, I knew I was on my way

Life can have a way of messing with your plans
Found myself alone once more with time on my hands
Borrowed Dad’s old six string, started making music again

Hey, Hey, Hey, let my music play, lighting my blood on fire
My music’s like a drug flowing through my veins, I couldn’t get much higher
Leaving my mark on the Tree of Life, my music will outlive me
Some stories to tell, from a life lived well, This will be my legacy

The stories that I read built a garden in my mind
Escaping to the fantasy, symbols I would find
Deeper levels calling, bringing me right into the tale

In time I found that music had the same spell
A world I could visit and enjoy just as well
Tales began to grow, bringing songs to me

The seed would be a few words, with music I could hear
It would grow in the garden as a full song would appear
My music and my pen would bring the song to life

A song can be a chapter, many chapters form a book, there can be many books in a tale
A world one can visit, like a realm in a book, fantasy and mystery set sail
A good song can take you back, to where you first heard it, every time without fail.

Hey, Hey, Hey, let my music play, lighting my blood on fire
My music’s like a drug flowing through my veins, I couldn’t get much higher
Leaving my mark on the Tree of Life, my music will outlive me
Some stories to tell, from a life lived well, This will be my legacy

So this is what I will leave behind
The telling of a tale where you will find
Something that was written just for you

So when its time for me to say goodbye
My music wills stay on when its time to fly
A story to be told and enjoyed again and again
