I learned how to write it, when I first started
school

Some bully didn't like it, said it didn't sound
too cool

So I had to hit him, and all I said when the
blood came

It's my last name

Grandpa took it off to Europe, to fight the
Germans in the war

It came back on some dog tags, nobody wears no
more

It's written on a headstone, in the field where
he was slain

It's my last name

Passed down from generations, too far back to
trace

I can see all my relations, when I look into my
face

May never make it famous, but I'll never bring it
shame

It's my last name

Daddy always told me, far back as I recall

Son you're part of something, you represent us
all

So keep it how you got it, as solid as it came

It's my last name

Repeat Chorus

So darlin if you're wonderin, why I've got you
here tonight

I wanna be your husband, I want you to be my wife

Ain't got much to give you, but what I've got
means everything

It's my last name

I learned how to write it, when I first started
school
