Last of My Kind

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? 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 them 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 In 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 That might be true in Arkansas But I'm a long, long way from there and that whole world's a lonely 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?
