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!
