Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit - Last of My Kind lyrics
[Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit - Last of My Kind lyrics]
I couldn't be happy in the city at night
You can't see the stars from the neon light
Sidewalk's dirty and the river's worse
The underground trains all run in reverse
Nobody here can dance like me
Everybody clapping on the one and the three
Am I the last of my kind?
Am I the last of my kind?
So many people with so much to do
The winter's so cold my hands turn blue
Old men sleeping on the filthy ground
They spend their whole day
Just walking around
Nobody else here seems to care
They walk right past them like
They ain't even there
Am I the last of my kind?
Am I the last of my kind?
Daddy said the river would
Always lead me home
But the river can't take me back in
Time and daddy's dead and gone
The family farm's a parking lot
For Walton's five and dime
Am I the last of my kind?
Am I the last of my kind?
I tried to go to college but I didn't belong
Everything I said was either funny or wrong
They laughed at my boots, laughed at my jeans
Laughed when they gave me amphetamines
Left me alone in a bad part of town
Thirty-six hours to come back down
Am I the last of my kind?
Am I the last of my kind?
Mama says God won't give you too much to bear
That might be true in Arkansas
But I'm a long, long way from there
That whole world's an old and
Faded picture in my mind
Am I the last of my kind?
Am I the last of my kind?
Am I the last of my kind?
You can't see the stars from the neon light
Sidewalk's dirty and the river's worse
The underground trains all run in reverse
Nobody here can dance like me
Everybody clapping on the one and the three
Am I the last of my kind?
Am I the last of my kind?
So many people with so much to do
The winter's so cold my hands turn blue
Old men sleeping on the filthy ground
They spend their whole day
Just walking around
Nobody else here seems to care
They walk right past them like
They ain't even there
Am I the last of my kind?
Am I the last of my kind?
Daddy said the river would
Always lead me home
But the river can't take me back in
Time and daddy's dead and gone
The family farm's a parking lot
For Walton's five and dime
Am I the last of my kind?
Am I the last of my kind?
I tried to go to college but I didn't belong
Everything I said was either funny or wrong
They laughed at my boots, laughed at my jeans
Laughed when they gave me amphetamines
Left me alone in a bad part of town
Thirty-six hours to come back down
Am I the last of my kind?
Am I the last of my kind?
Mama says God won't give you too much to bear
That might be true in Arkansas
But I'm a long, long way from there
That whole world's an old and
Faded picture in my mind
Am I the last of my kind?
Am I the last of my kind?
Am I the last of my kind?
