Last of His Kind
(Susan Gibson, Pie-Eyed Groobee Music, BMI, Bug Music)

He’s a young man at 56
He’s learned to sing
I say you can teach an old dog new tricks
Cuz youth is lingering

His hands are strong but have a feather touch
He’s got work under his nails
He can hold a babe in his embrace
& throws the switch on the rails

he’s one of a kind standing out in a crowd
a man of his mind and a breed of the proud
now he’s the last of his kind the last of his name

He’s got lines etched around his eyes
They are roads his feet have not touched
Paths of tears in sadness and joy
He’s my only, my only, my only

he’s one of a kind standing out in a crowd
a man of his mind and a breed of the proud
now he’s the last of his kind the last of his name

He goes to find his family
Their name is etched in stone
Coming to rest in a single place
But he is not alone

he’s one of a kind standing out in a crowd
a man of his mind and a breed of the proud
now he’s the last of his kind the last of his name
