Текст песни
As I gaze around at the pictures hanging on my wall
I don't know, I can't help but reminisce
I think about 'em all, 'cause we all started together
I'm talkin' about friends of mine
People like Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix
Otis Redding, Marvin Gaye, Jackie Wilson, and Sam Cooke
Just to name a few
Sometimes I'm rolling
Sometimes I'm standing still
Sometimes I'm just having a ball
Feeling moody isn't worth it all
They know I'm dependable
Make the rounds and take the blows
'Cause I'm the only survivor left still standing here
Sometimes I feel like I'm a long ways from home
And the light for me from yesterday is gone
And my army has marched across the hill
And left me behind to fight the dream we live
And my heart can't take it
And my feet don't wanna make it
But I'm the only survivor left still standing here
I can see that old house standing alongside the road
Where papa laid his plan and he let us go
And the grass is high and I gotta chop it down
'Cause I'm the only hope for my heirs to be found
And my heart can't take it
And my feet don't wanna make it
I'm the only survivor left still standing here
Mmm, sometimes I'm rolling
Sometimes I'm standing still
Sometimes I'm just having a ball
Feeling moody isn't worth it all
They know I'm dependable
Make the rounds and I take the blows
'Cause I'm the only survivor left still standing here
Look like my heart can't take it
And my feet don't wanna make it
But I'm the only survivor left still standing here
As I gaze around at the pictures
Hanging on my wall
They come to life and my history is in it all
People say he's a living legend in his time
But I'm just a soldier who survived
On the royal line
Look like my heart can't take it
And my feet don't wanna make it
