Last of My Kind Songtext

von Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit

Couldn't be happy in the city tonight
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 1 and 3

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

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 hrs 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
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
