about

I've been to too many funerals the last 3 or 4 years. This song is about some of my observations of the going on's at the funeral....

lyrics

Last Man Standing

I said goodbye to an old friend today
heard the same old lines and cliches
He looks so peaceful, he was too young to die
I guess it’s God’s will anyway
He left behind a sister a should’ve been ex wife
One was on the left side the other on the right
Pictures on the table reminders of why
No one gets out of her alive

Chorus So I shake another hand hug another neck
Talk about the old times long gone so quick
At the end of the line all alone and abandoned
I don’t want to be that last man standing

They talked about his cancer while they smoked a cigarette
Proclaiming with conviction one day they’re gonna quit
Propose a final toast put your doing in the air
Start it with a joke and end it with a prayer
Ashes to ashes dust to dust
Death and taxes are gonna get all of us
You may leave behind a fortune for somebody else
cause you can’t take it with you oh well

B. Crain
