Last Man Standing

Faded pictures in an old scrapbook Faded pictures that somebody took When you were hard and young and proud Backed against the wall, running raw and loud Verse 2 Snakeskin vest and a sharkskin suit Cuban heels on your boots You kick in the band and side-by-side You take the crowd on their mystery ride Verse 3 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 Chorus 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 Bridge Out of school and out of work Thrift-store jeans and flannel shirts The lights go down as you face the crowd The last man standing now Verse 4 Lights come up at the Legion Hall Pool cues go back up on the wall Pack your guitar and have one last beer With just the ringing in your ears Chorus 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
