There's a tire 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 ***'s 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 was raised on this land and he ain't leaving now
All the other boys have had nothing gone
Leaving him to carry on
Cause he's the last man standing
Mama took a job at the general store
Timmy built a ramp from the front porch door
Cause 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 had nothing gone
You can count on me to carry on
Cause 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 ain't leaving now
All the other boys have had nothing gone
Leaving him to carry on
Cause he's the last man standing on this ground
He won't let his mama and his daddy down
All the other boys have had nothing gone
They can count on me to carry on
Cause he's the last man standing
He's the last man
The last man standing
