There's a tire on the rope above the swimming hole
Where Danny and David Timp 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 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 her ramp from the front porch door
Cause daddy can't do much around here anymore
He just sits and stares
And he'd raise his heart not to lend a hand
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 leave now

I was raised on this land and I won't leave now
I won't let you down
All the 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
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 can count on him to carry on
He's the last man standing on this ground
He won't let his mama or his daddy down
All the other boys have packed up and gone
You can count on him to carry on
Cause he's the last man standing
He's the last man
He's the last man standing on this ground
He's the last man standing on this ground
