My heart's taken a beating
But there's still a drum beat inside
I know my days are numbered
But I'm still awake
I'm still alive
Sands of time
Slipping through my hand
I'm the last man standing
Yeah
I'm the last man standing
I've seen kings reduced to thieves
I've seen the writing on the wall
I've seen the great walls crumble
And I've watched the nations fall
Hey, and none of this is how I planned it
But I'm the last man standing
I'm the last man standing
I've seen a wicked man rise up
And I've watched a good man die
And I said "Lord, why this bitter cup?"
And He never told me why
I still got my guitar in my hand
You know who I am
I'm the last man standing
Yeah
I'm the last man standing
I learned my pain the hard way
Heaven knows I've seen my share
And the lessons that it taught me
Ain't nothin free, ain't nothin fair
Ain't no way to understand it
But you better believe it
I'm right here
I'm right now
I'm the last man standing
You know (last man standing)
You know who I am
With this guitar
In my hand
I'm the last man standing
