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
