Lyrics The Last Younger Son - Ray Wylie Hubbard

(Ray Wylie Hubbard)

My last name is Younger I am the last Younger son
The name I was given was Luke 15: 21
Three days of thunder, three days of rain
I come to be in this world with a number and a name.

My last name is Younger I am the last Younger son
I stand as a witness to the things I have done
And I have caused sorrow yet I too have been pained
You cannot be in this world and not get stained.

My last name is Younger I am the last Younger son
I once had beliefs but now I have none
There is no forgiveness for old guns and knives
Perhaps it is fitting we don't recall our past lives.

My last name is Younger I am the last Younger son
There is a secret I never told anyone
Sometimes I see something in a few certain eyes
And I behold the future of how and when a man dies.

--- Instrumental ---

My last name is Younger I am the last Younger son
I won't get no older than the age of twenty-one
As I look in the mirror I see the future once more
And an old friend is waiting just beyond the closed door.

My last name is Younger I am the last Younger son
The name I was given was Luke 15: 21
Three days of thunder, three days of rain
I come to be in this world with a number and a name...
