Artist : Neal McCoy Title : The Last Of A Dying Breed My name's Tommy Franks, an' my Daddy's name was Ray. Ray was a farm boy, a cowboy an' a banker. A clerk, a roughneck, a driller, A long-haul driver, a soldier an' a mechanic. He was also a friend to everybody he ever met. Ray taught me the value of Faith an' family, The American flag, hard work, honesty an' a good dog. I hope my Daddy Ray wasn't the last of a dyin' breed.
He's a cold beer drinker, a buck n' bear hunter: The best friend a dog ever had. A post-hole-digger, a man Skoal dipper, John Deere cap-sportin' man.

Heaven knows, I'd hate to think that generation might be ending, But if he goes, he will go down in history: As the last, the last of a dying breed. Of a dying breed. Of a dying breed
