One of a kind
If I had to place
a label on me
Id brand myself
a living breathing mystery
Somewhere between
a good strong cup of coffee
before church on Sunday morning
And that lost or lonely Saturday night
one past too many, shots of whiskey
you just can't keep from pouring
One of a kind
aging like yesterday's wine
strolling around with no sense of time
living like there's no tomorrow
up here in the mountains of Colorado
There ain't alot I haven't seen
not to much I've never done
I'll leave you to your thinking
while I'm trying to outrun the Sun
Don't worry about me
I'm just having some fun
when it comes to being different
I swear it's like I'm the only one
Please try and take me as I come
Just like the wine
I'm on yesterday's time
only one of a kind
Right in the middle of a god fearing man
and a hell raising boy ....
is right where I make
my stand....
No I wouldn't earn a medal
for being a man
but either way I'll keep on being
the way that I am
And even with a lot
I wish I can undo
everyday is another chance to
stake my claim among the few
No one's ever called me a saint
I suppose I'm real good
At not being something I ain't
What you see is what you get
once we meet I'm sure you won't be
quick to forget
I'm walking that line
just singing my rhyme
as far as I come, I found
Im only one of a kind
One of a kind
Strolling around with no sense of time
Up here in Colorado
Living like there's no tomorrow
Aging like yesterday's wine
There ain't much I haven't seen
There ain't alot I've never done
I'll leave you to your thinking
While I'm still trying to outrun the Sun
Don't worry about me
I'm just having some fun
when it comes to being different
I swear I'm the only one
Please try and take me as I come
Cuz' just like the wine
I'm on yesterday's time
Only one of a kind
My daddy didn't raise no fool
Im not considered to be any kind of cool
don't spend too much of my time
on any one Ol bar stool
I come and go like the wind
as fast as I blew in
just like that
there I go again
No I won't say sorry
for the way the Lord made me
I guess it just adds to my mystery
No I won't change and
I'll never stop
Doing my time
I'm only one of a kind
Now I've walked this walk for most of the years I've wondered this rock
Love Me or hate Me
it ain't really your fault
I'm doing things my way
and son that ain't ever gonna stop
There's one thing for certain
when they draw my final curtain
Only a few words can be spoken
about the man and his time
and that was
He was one of a kind
One of a kind
aging like yesterday's wine
strolling around with no sense of time
Growing up here in Colorado
living like there's no tomorrow
There ain't a lot I haven't seen
not too much I've never done
I'll leave you to your thinking
while I'm still trying to outrun the Sun
Don't worry about me
I'm just having some fun
when it comes to my kind of different
You can bet I'm the only one
Please try to take me as I come
Just like that wine
brother I'm on yesterday's time
I'm only one of a kind!
