The Last Younger Son - Tony Joe White, Ray Wylie Hubbard

My last name is Younger, I am the last Younger son

The name I was given is Luke 15:21

Three days of thunder and 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, 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’ve never told anyone

Sometimes I see something in a few certain eyes

And I behold the future of how and when a man dies

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

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 is Luke 15:21

Three days of thunder and three days of rain

I come to be in this world with a number and a name
