Last Man Standing Lyrics

John and his wife lived and loved

JD on ice in their Tequila sunset

He never thought twice about the price

With every shot in every bar

In this god-fearing town.

Now he's getting wasted, letting go of her,

No matter what he says 'bout Custer's last stand

He's pitched his flag in the juke-box light

And rages at the God who took her from him

He's the last man standing, putting off to-night

What's gonna floor him tomorrow

The last man standing with the pain

Whiskey is never gonna put right again

The last man standing, in the pouring rain

Now he don't know the time of day,

He's a big wave crashing on a winter shore

With every glass that hits his lips,

He still thinks she'll walk in through the open door.

When they buried her in that hill-top grave

and the people walked away . . .

He was the last man standing, putting off to-night,

What's gonna floor him tomorrow

The last man standing with the pain

Whiskey is never gonna put right again

The last man standing, in the pouring rain
