THE LEGEND AND THE MAN
(CONWAY TWITTY 1985)
Intro
THEY ALL REACH TO TOUCH HIM
AS HE WALKS OUT ON THE STAGE
THEY CAME TO SEE THE LEGEND
AND TO HEAR THE LEGEND SING
WHILE THE MEN SIT THERE APPLAUDING
LADIES LOVE HIM THIER EYES
AND HE LOOKS JUST A LEGNED SHOULD
UP THERE IN ALL THOSE LIGHTS
BUT THEY DON T KWON AFTER THE SHOW
HOW FAST THE LEGEND FADES
HOW HE REACHES FOR THE BOTTLE
WHEN GUITARS ARE PUT AWAY
AND THEÊPHOTOGRAGH AND THE LOVE HE HAD
FILLS HIS TREMBLING HAND
THERES ALONELY WORLD OF DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN THE LEGEND AND THE MAN
HE S WON ALL THE SHINEY STATUES
ALL THE RECORDS PRESSÊWITH GOLD
BUT HE LOST WHAT REALLY MATTERED
BUT HE REALLY WANTED MORE
AND TONIGHT SOME CITY
LORD HE LL DRIVE ALL THE CROWD INSANE
THEY LL FEEL THE PLEASURE OF HIS SONG
BUT THEY WON T FEEL HIS PAIN
CAUSE THEY DON T HNOW AFTER THE SHOW
HOW FAST THE LEGEND FADES
HOW HE REACHES FOR THE BOTTLE
WHEN GUITARS ARE PUT AWAY
AND THE PHOTOGRAGH OF THE LOVE HE HAD
FILLS HIS TREMBLING HAND
THERE S A LONELY WORLD OF DIFERENCE
BETWEEN THE LEGEND AND THE MAN
THRE S A LONELY WORLD OF DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN THE LEGEND AND ..........THE MAN
