Well I miss my Mama and all of my friends*
And that tiny little town I grew up in
Will always be where I call home
But I've sacrificed so many years
To just give up on what got me here, I've come so far to be so close
It's the hard knocks, it's the long shots
It's believing in yourself when you're all you got
You don't turn back, you don't give in
Rising up to be the last man standing!
[Chorus:]
Stakes are high when the chips are down
And you can bet the farm that I ain't folding now
'Cause when everyone else has thrown their hand in
I'll be the last man standing!
There comes a time in all our lives when your backs to the wall and it'd do or die
Do you stand your ground or walk away?
(Would you walk away?)
My heart's been broke, my pride's been striped
Every time this world tells me to quit
I hear that voice inside me saying
It's the hard knocks, it's the long shots
It's believing in yourself when you're all you got
You don't turn back, you don't give in
Rising up to be the last man standing!
Stakes are high when the chips are down
And you can bet the farm that I ain't folding now
'Cause when everyone else has thrown their hand in
I'll be the last man standing!
Well, I've been bred to win, losing's wrong
And no you can't hold me down 'cause I'm just too strong
Waited way too long, so quick name the plan
I got your world in my hands, I ain't playin' with you man!
If you want to come and get it, I ain't here to brag or boast
I bet you won't get it when I come to take it home
I want it deep in my bones and I don't ask, I demand it
When it all falls down, I'll be the last man standing!
It's the hard knocks, it's the long shots
It's believing in yourself when you're all you got
You don't turn back, you don't give in
Rising up to be the last man standing!
Stakes are high when the chips are down
And you can bet the farm that I ain't folding now
'Cause when everyone else has thrown their hand in
I'll be the last man standing!
I'm gonna be the last man....standing
I'm gonna be, yeah yeah yeah
