Ray Wylie Hubbard - The Last Younger Son lyrics
[Ray Wylie Hubbard - The Last Younger Son lyrics]
I am the last Younger son
The name I was given is Luke 15: 21
Three days of thunder and three days of rain
I come to be in this world
With a number and a name
My last name is Younger
I am the last Younger son
I stand as a witness to
The things I have done
And I have caused sorrow
Yet I too have been pained
You cannot be in this world
And not get stained
My last name is Younger
I am the last Younger son
I once had beliefs, now I have none
There is no forgiveness for
Old guns and knives
Perhaps it is fitting we don't
Recall our past lives
My last name is Younger
I am the last Younger son
There is a secret I've never told anyone
Sometimes I see something in
A few certain eyes
And I behold the future of how
And when a man dies
My last name is Younger
I am the last Younger son
I won't get no older than
The age of twenty-one
As I look in the mirror I
See the future once more
An old friend is waiting just
Beyond the closed door
My last name is Younger
I am the last Younger son
The name I was given is Luke 15: 21
Three days of thunder and three days of rain
I come to be in this world
With a number and a name
