Verse 1
There’s a pair of old boots by the front screen door
Mud still caked from a life before
An Army bag in the back of my Chevrolet
And a Bible with the corners worn away
Mama prayed while the porch light burned
Daddy said, “Son, some roads gotta hurt”
I chased that sun through a windshield cracked
Trying to find myself while I was running past
Pre-Chorus
And I lost some friends
And I lost some years
I found out pride don’t dry no tears
But every scar I tried to hide
Was proof I made it through the night
Chorus
So here’s to the last good fight
The one between the dark and light
The one that makes a man decide
If he’s gonna run or rise
I’ve been broke down, beat up, barely getting by
Had heaven on my knees and hell in my eyes
But I ain’t done, no, I ain’t out
I still got a fire burning somewhere down inside
This life ain’t easy, but it’s mine
And I’m still standing for the last good fight
Verse 2
I left love waiting on a county line
Told her I’d be back when I found my shine
But dreams get heavy when the money runs thin
And lonely don’t care where a man has been
I’ve slept in motels with a broken soul
Shook hands with people who never cared to know
That behind that smile and a firm handshake
Was a heart still learning how much it could take
Pre-Chorus 2
And I prayed some prayers
That I thought God missed
Till grace showed up in a morning mist
Now every mile and every wrong
Sounds a little more like a redemption song
Chorus
So here’s to the last good fight
The one between the dark and light
The one that makes a man decide
If he’s gonna run or rise
I’ve been broke down, beat up, barely getting by
Had heaven on my knees and hell in my eyes
But I ain’t done, no, I ain’t out
I still got a fire burning somewhere down inside
This life ain’t easy, but it’s mine
And I’m still standing for the last good fight
Bridge
When they lay me down beneath that stone
I don’t need gold, I don’t need a throne
Just say I loved, say I tried
Say I looked fear straight in the eye
Say I fell hard but I got back up
Say I gave too much but I still gave love
Say I found my faith when I lost my pride
And I never quit on the last good fight
Final Chorus
Yeah, here’s to the last good fight
The one between the dark and light
The one that makes a man decide
If he’s gonna run or rise
I’ve been broke down, beat up, baptized by the fire
Had dreams fall short and my heart get tired
But I ain’t done, no, I ain’t out
I still hear heaven calling through the doubt
This life ain’t easy, but it’s mine
Every scar, every tear, every mountain I climb
I’m still standing, still swinging, still chasing the light
Lord, give me strength for the last good fight
Outro
There’s a porch light burning at the end of the road
A little grace waiting when I make it home
And if I’m still breathing, then I still got time
To stand my ground in the last good fight
