My Last Name

I learned how to write it when I first started school Some bully didn't like it, he 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 dogtags 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, your part of somethin', you represent us all So keep it how you got it, as solid as it came 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 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 I ain't got much to give you, what I've got means everything It's my last name Oh, it's my last name I learned how to write it when I first started school
