Theres a tyre pn a 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 dams dried up and the rope is frayed
Danny and Dave they ran away
Timmy he just had to stay

Cause hes the last man standing on this ground
he was raised on this land and he aint leaving now
all the other boys have packed up and gone
leaving him to carry on
cause he's the last man standing
Mumma took a job at the general store
Timmy built a ramp from the front porch door
cause daddy cant 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 dont you understand?"

Cause I'm the last man standing on this ground
I was raised on this land and I wont 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 wont see
but he says "all they've got is me"

(Lead Break over

Now hes the last man standing on this ground
he was raised on this land and he aint leaving now
now all the other boys have packed up and gone
leaving him to carry on

hes the last man standing on this ground
he wont let his mumma 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
he's the last man
the last man standing
