Conor Oberst and The Mystic Valley Band - One Of My Kind lyrics

[Verse 1] I can't live in this city But I was born here And I know all these people Where they went to high school Where they got their angle Where they waited tables Still call me brother Like Cain and Abel [Verse 2] There, see all those old men How'd they get so swollen? I got so many broke friends Who say I owe them From when we were children How did it happen? Where is it going? Is that your question, man? Where does all your frustration lie? Why are you pulling out your hair at night? Just try and have a good time All the rest aside You're still one of my kind [Verse 3] I can't think in this city But I remember I know every story that it ever told me Well, I got the blueprint To create my own myth That's what made it tragic Like a summer snowdrift [Verse 4] Yeah, going to call my first love Meet her at the new club Tell her all that I've done Finally be forgiven And get good and drunk Like it feels you're young There are things against us But I will fight tooth and nail Stand in the sickening sunshine After staying out all night And maybe it's the good life All the rest aside The rest aside The rest aside You're still one of my kind [Verse 5] I can't live in this city But I'll probably die here Maybe that's how you feel Like a poisoned cornfield Like a best friend backstabbed An abandoned train track We're living straight-lined Are you one of my kind?
