The Last Younger Son Lyrics

Ray Wylie Hubbard The Last Younger Son

My last name is Younger I am the last Younger son
C
The name I was given
Gm
Was Luke 15:21
C Gm
3 days of thunder 3 days of rain
C Bb Gm
I come to be in this world with a number and a name

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

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

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

Solo (chords as verse)

Gm
My last name is Younger I am the last Younger son
C Gm
I won't get no older than the age of 21
C Gm
As I look in the mirror I see the future once more
C Bb Gm
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
as Luke 15:21
3 days of thunder 3 days of rain
I come to be in this world with a number and a name
