"Last Man Standing" lyrics

"Last Man Standing"

If they gave Olympic medals for running all night long
I would have won them all until I turned pro
I've got miles of dedication and a natural inclination
For a childhood game i just could not outgrow

I want to be the last man standing
People crashin' on the sofas, passin' out on the floor
But the last man standing
Was sayin', "Bring on a little bit more"

Want to be the last man standing
Got the devil at the crossroads, wolf at the door
But the last man standing
Is singin', "Bring on a little bit more"

When you stop and think about it, life is still just high school
You make the same mistakes you did when you were young
Contending for the ladies' favors, testing every single flavor
While hopelessly trying not scald your tongue

I wanna be the last man standing
Bring me the hot sauce, bring me a beer
You're the last man standing
But where do you go from here?

Gonna be the last man standing
Still got a fun tickets in your hand
But the last man standing
Takin' off before he lands

I might as well admit it, there's been a time or two
When I contemplated retirement for a while
But a hundred years from now, they'll still be asking how
As they gaze upon on my taxidermic smile

Want to be the last man standing
Got the devil at the crossroads, wolf at the door
But the last man standing
Is singin', "Bring on a little bit more"

Gonna be the last man standing
When I leave this world behind
Gonna be the last man standing
It's a Mississippi state of mind
