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. |
