This song refers to Willie Nelson’s status as the only living member of Country’s original crew of outlaws. He name drops people like Merle Haggard and Waylon Jennings, being good friends and frequent collaborators who have since passed away. Willie, however, decides he doesn’t mind to be the last o...
I don't wanna be the last man standin'
Or wait a minute maybe I do
If you don't mind I'll start a new line
And decide after thinkin' it through
Go on in front if you're in such a hurry
Like heaven ain't waitin' for you
I don't wanna be the last man standin'
On second thought maybe I do
It's gettin' hard to watch my pals check out
Cuts like a wore out knife
One thing I learned about runnin' the road
Is forever don't apply to life
Waylon and Ray and Merle and old Norro
Lived just as fast as me
I still got a lotta good friends left
And I wonder who the next will be
I don't wanna be the last man standin'
Or wait a minute maybe I do
If you don't mind I'll start a new line
And decide after thinkin' it through
Go on in front if you're in such a hurry
Like heaven ain't waitin' for you
I don't wanna be the last man standin'
On second thought maybe I do
Maybe we'll all meet again
On the other side
We'll pick and sing
Load up the buses and ride
I don't wanna be the last man standin'
Or wait a minute maybe I do
If you don't mind I'll start a new line
And decide after thinkin' it through
Go on in front if you're in such a hurry
'Cause hell is a-waitin' there too
I don't wanna be the last man standin'
On second thought maybe I do
Yeah maybe I do
Yeah maybe I do
Yeah maybe I do
