Last Buffalo

(Album: Honky Tonk Heaven - 2022)

Sometimes I feel like the last buffalo on the plains
Well I get lonesome, I don't hang my head in shame
I tried to find the rest of my kind, shackles found my name
With a man who aims to tame
And a man who aims to tame

But I ain't going down without a fight
I'll kick and scream and run you down, have you begging for your life
You better bring a lunchbox and an old flashlight
'Cause I ain't going down without a fight
I ain't going down without a fight

I used to be one in a million
Now I'm just a bastard son
You'll never catch me alive
'Cause I'm always on the run
There's no good place to die
No place I really call my home
That's how I know I'm the last buffalo

I got a lot of people trying to hunt me down
They'll hang me over their mantle and they can show me off to the crowds
It's a been a poison story about how they made me fall
The plaque'll say a country singer, most rare of them all
He's the most rare of them all

I used to be one in a million
Now I'm just a bastard son
You'll never catch me alive
'Cause I'm always on the run
There's no good place to die
No place I really call my home
That's how I know I'm the last buffalo

I used to be one in a million
Now I'm just a bastard son
You'll never catch me alive
'Cause I'm always on the run
There's no good place to die
No place I-I really call my home
That's how I know I'm the last buffalo
I'm the last damn buffalo
