Last of My Kind Lyrics by Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit

Live from the Ryman

2017

[Verse 1]
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
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?
[Verse 2]
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?
[Chorus]
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
And 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?
[Verse 3]
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?
[Chorus]
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
And 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?
Am I the last of my kind?
