Roger McGuinn Living Legend written by Roger McGuinn Everybody called him a living legend But just being a legend didn't make him a living And every day on the job his mind went spinning Back to twenty years ago and all the shows he was giving He's a living legend he's got nowhere to go What he'd give to be on the road and to do another show He's a living legend oh how he loved that life Now he works in the factory and he just drinks beer at night Some of the younger stars grew up on his music And they liked his style so much they decided to use it When he heard his songs on the radio he started to lose it But when the big money came in he couldn't refuse it He's a living legend he's got nowhere to go What he'd give to be on the road and to do another show He's a living legend oh how he loved that life Now he works in the factory and he just drinks beer at night One day he brought his old guitar to the factory picnic And B.J. the country DJ heard him play it And everybody was still amazed at how well he could still pick And they booked him in the Golden Eagle before you could say it He's a living legend he's got somewhere to go He's so glad to be on the road and to do another show He's a living legend oh how he loves his life And now he plays his music for the people every night And now he plays his music for the people every night Unreleased song performed in the mid 80's
