Last Man Standing
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Faded pictures in an old scrapbook
Faded pictures that somebody took
When you were hard and young and proud
Back against the wall running raw and loud
Snakeskin vest and a sharkskin suit
Cuban heels on your boots
Kicking the band in side by side
You take the crowd on their mystery ride
Knights of Columbus and the Fireman's Ball
Friday night at the Union Hall
Black leather clubs all along Route 9
You count the names of the missing as you count off time
Rock of ages lift me somehow
Somewhere high and hard and loud
Somewhere deep into the heart of the crowd
I'm the last man standing now
I'm the last man standing now
Out of school and out of work
Thrift store jeans and flannel shirt
The lights go down and we face the crowd
The last man standing now
Lights come up at the Legion Hall
Pool cues go back up on the wall
You pack your guitar and have one last beer
With just the ringing in your ears
Rock of ages lift me somehow
Somewhere high and hard and loud
Somewhere deep into the heart of the crowd
I'm the last man standing now
I'm the last man standing now
I'm the last man standing now
One, two, three, four!
Go!
