Last of My Kind

Couldn't be happy in the city at night

You can't see the stars through the neon lights

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?

So many people with so much to do

Winter so cold, my hands turn blue

Old men sleeping on the filthy ground

And spend the whole day just walking around

Nobody else here seems to care

They walk right past 'em 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

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?

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

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?
