THERE'S A TYRE ON THE ROPE
ABOVE THE SWIMMING HOLE
WHERE DANNY AND DAVE
AND TIM WOULD GO
MAKE UP STORIES ABOUT
GIRLS THEY KNOW
BROTHERS AND BEST FRIENDS
NOW THE DAMS DRIED UP
AND THE ROPE IS FRAYED
DANNY AND DAVE
THEY RAN AWAY
TIMMY HE JUST HAD TO STAY
CAUSE HE'S THE LAST
MAN STANDING ON THIS
GROUND HE'S RAISED
ON THIS LAND
AND HE AINT LEAVIN' NOW
ALL THE OTHER BOYS
HAVE PACKED UP AND GONE
LEAVING HIM TO CARRY ON
BECAUSE HE'S
THE LAST MAN STANDING
MUMMA TOOK A JOB
AT THE GENERAL STORE
TIMMY BUILT A RAMP FROM
THE FRONT PORCH DOOR
HIS DADDY CAN'T DO MUCH
ROUND HERE ANYMORE
HE JUST SITS AND STARES
AND IT BREAKS HIS HEART
NOT TO LEND A HAND
HE SAYS IT'S TOO MUCH
WORK FOR JUST ONE MAN
TIMMY SAYS DAD DON'T
YOU UNDERSTAND
CAUSE I'M THE LAST MAN
STANDING ON THIS GROUND
I WAS RAISED ON THIS LAND
AND I WON'T LET YOU DOWN
ALL YOUR OTHER BOYS
HAVE PACKED UP AND GONE
YOU CAN COUNT ON
ME TO CARRY ON
BECAUSE I'M THE
LAST MAN STANDING
SOMETIMES LATE AT NIGHT
HE DREAMS OF PLACES
HE WON'T SEE
BUT HE SAYS ALL
THEY'VE GOT IS ME
NOW HE'S THE LAST MAN
STANDING ON THIS GROUND
HE WAS RAISED ON THIS LAND
AND HE AINT LEAVIN' NOW
ALL THE OTHER BOYS HAVE
PACKED UP AND GONE
LEAVING HIM TO CARRY ON
HE'S THE LAST MAN
STANDING ON THIS GROUND
HE WON'T LET HIS MOMMA
AND HIS DADDY DOWN
ALL THE OTHER BOYS HAVE
PACKED UP AND GONE
THEY CAN COUNT ON
HIM TO CARRY ON
CAUSE HE'S THE LAST MAN
STANDING
HE'S THE LAST MAN
LAST MAN STANDING
