Willie Nelson

Willie Hugh Nelson (pronounced /wɪli nɛlsən /; born April 30, 1933) is an American country music singer-songwriter, as well as an author, poet, actor, and activist. The critical success of the album Shotgun Willie (1973), combined with the critical and commercial success of Red Headed Stranger (1975) and Stardust (1978), made Nelson one of the most recognized artists in country music. He was one of the main figures of outlaw country, a subgenre of country music that developed at the end of the 1960s as a reaction to the conservative restrictions of the Nashville sound. Nelson has acted in over 30 films, co-authored several books, and has been involved in activism for the use of biofuels and the legalization of marijuana. more »

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
