Last Man Standing

There's a tire on the rope above the swimming hole
Where Danny and Dave and Tim would go
Make up stories 'bout girls they know
Brothers and best friends
Now the dam'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 packed up and gone
You count on him to carry on
'Cause he's the last man standing

Momma took a job at the general store
Timmy built a ramp from the front porch door
'Cause daddy can't do much around here anymore
He just sits and stares
And it breaks his heart not to lend a hand
He says, "There'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 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"

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 packed up and gone
You can count on me 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 count on him to carry on
'Cause he's the last man standing
He's the last man
The last man standing
