Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
Am I the last of my kind?
Am I the last of my kind?
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
Am I the last of my kind?
Am I the last of my kind?
[Verse 5]
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
[Verse 6]
Am I the last of my kind?
Am I the last of my kind?
[Verse 7]
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
[Verse 8]
Am I the last of my kind?
Am I the last of my kind?
[Verse 9]
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
[Verse 10]
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?
