Last Of My Kind Lyrics - Jason Isbell & 400 Unit

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 

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?
