Lyrics

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
Snakeskin vest and a sharkskin suit
Cuban heels on your boots
Kick in the band and 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 nine
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 shirts
The lights go down as you 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
