There's a tyre 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
|
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 "There's too much work for just one man"
|
Timmy says "Dad don't you understand?"
|
|
"Cause I'm the last man standing on the 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
|
"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 packed up and gone
|
Leaving him to carry on
|
He's the last man standing on this ground
|
He won't let his mama 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.
