Last of My Kind

Couldn't be happy in the city tonight I can't see the stars for the neon lights Sidewalk's dirty and the river's worse Underground trains all run in reverse Nobody here can dance like me Everybody clappin' on the one and three Am I the last of my kind? Am I the last of my kind? So many people with so much to do Winter so cold my hands turn blue Old man sleeping on a filthy ground Spend the whole day just walking around Nobody else here seems to care They walk right past him like he 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 And the family farm's a parking lot A 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 Laughed at my boots, laughed at my jeans Laughed when they gave me amphetamines Left me alone in the bad part of town 36 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 Might be true in Arkansas, but I'm a long, long way from there And that whole world is 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?
