"The Legend" lyrics

From a copper town in Montana
Came a boy with no fear
Grew to be a legend
A real iron horse pioneer
Soarin' through the sixties, a fire burnin' in his soul
Tryin' to make a difference in a time of sex
Drugs, and rock and roll

Born to fly across the sky
You can't deny this death-defying mystery
He found his fame
Millions came, made sure his name would go down in history
Evel may be gone
But the legend of Knievel keeps ridin' on

Strung out on adrenaline
He'd pass down to the sun
A broken home, broken bones, and that big bad number one
Yeah, ramp to ramp, city to city, a daredevil's attitude
The last of the gladiators
Wearin' that red, white, and
Blue

Born to fly across the sky
You can't deny this death-defying mystery
He found his fame
Millions came, made sure his name would go down in history
Evel may be gone
But the legend of Knievel keeps ridin' on

Like a Roman coliseum, they'd come from far and wide
No one would breathe
They'd wait and see, will he make it to the other side?
Let's get this thing done
Uh

All right. Born to fly across the sky
You can't deny this death-defying mystery
No
He found his fame
Millions came, made sure his name would go down in history
Evel may be gone
But the legend of Knievel keeps ridin' on
Yeah, the legend of Knievel keeps ridin' on
