GEverybody called him a living Clegend
DBut just being a legend didn't make him a Gliving
And every day on the job his mind went Cspinning
DBack to twenty years ago and all the shows he was gGiving
GHe's a living legend he's Amgot nowhere to go
CWhat he'd give to be Don the road and to Cdo another Dshow
He's a Gliving legend  oh Amhow he loved that life
CNow he works in the Dfactory and  he Cjust drinks Dbeer at Gnight
GSome of the younger stars grew up on his Cmusic
And they Dliked his style so much they decided to Guse it
When he heard his songs on the radio he started to Close it
But Dwhen the big money came in he couldn't rGefuse it
GHe's a living legend he's Amgot nowhere to go
CWhat he'd give to be Don the road and to Cdo another sDhow
He's a Gliving legend  oh Amhow he loved that life
CNow he works in the Dfactory and  he Cjust drinks Dbeer at Gnight
GOne day he brought his old guitar to the factory Cpicnic
And DB.J. the country DJ  heard him Gplay it
GAnd everybody was still amazed at how well he could sCtill pick
And they Dbooked him in the Golden Eagle before you could say Git
He's a Gliving legend he's Amgot somewhere to go
CHe's so glad to be Don the road and to Cdo another sDhow
GHe's a living legend oh Amhow he loves his life
CAnd now he plays his Dmusic for the Cpeople Devery Gnight
AmAnd now he plays his Dmusic for the Cpeople Devery Gnight
