ADAM BRAND - LAST MAN STANDING lyrics

rate me

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.
