Last Of My Kind

专辑：The Nashville Sound

I couldn't be happy in the city at night

You can't see the stars for 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's clapping on the one and the three

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 then like they ain't even there

Am I the last of my kind

Daddy said the river would aways 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

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 along in a bad part of town

thirtysix hours to come back down

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 a lonely faded picture in my mind

Am I the last of my kind
