Last Man Standing Lyrics

I'm always double-dippin' the food
I'm always hittin' the shift and ain't no time to spare
Got a sale on these papayas, you could eat 'em on a diet
And the destiny is yours to lose
You're either part of the solution, don't be part of the problem
Gotta know you're alone, come on, souls and all

Time to turn on the heat, it's gettin' cold on the street
And man, this shit'll get you down
'Cause it's "Fuck all y'all" season, don't give me a reason
To watch your house burn to the ground
Light my new joint off the flames
I never learned how to play, so I broke the game
Now, I'm drippin' with oil, with the ink in the sword
Walkin' 'round crossin' off names
I'm gonna ride off into the sunset
While it all burns to hell behind me
Somewhere I haven't been yet
Somewhere they can't even see

Well, you know daddy likes his alone time
It's why he doesn't have any friends
Yeah, but want you to see, you'll be looking at me
The last man standing in the end

Folks gettin' sticky, got no time for gettin' picky
'Bout the who, what, the when, or the where
You say no tugs on the pickle with a back door tickle
Even though you got there
Well, I'm not gonna say what you want me to say
Plenty keep a'pandering already anyway
Don't even try because I already did it
Bullshit sells, don't you ever forget it
Going full speed is the greatest escape
Slamming on the gas, I can't find the brake
I don't know how I wasn't more than dead
Well, I'm gonna keep going 'til I find out

Well, your mama didn't raise nobody's dumb dog
No time to win a little for being almost done

Well, I know daddy needs his alone time
It's why he doesn't have any friends
Yeah, but I want you to see, you'll be looking at me
The last man standing in the end (Hey!)

What is the Meaning of Last Man Standing?

Sturgill Simpson's track delves into themes of resilience and individualism, portraying a protagonist who navigates life's challenges with a rugged, solitary demeanor. The lyrics suggest a disdain for societal norms and a preference for personal freedom, as seen in the repeated assertion of needing "alone time" and having no friends. This isolation is not depicted negatively but rather as a deliberate choice that enables survival and self-reliance in a chaotic world. The imagery of burning houses and escaping full speed underscores a rejection of conformity and an embrace of one's path, even if it leads to destruction or solitude. The song resonates as an anthem for those who feel alienated but empowered by their distinct journey through life. 🎸 #Individualism #Resilience
