[Verse 1]
I learned how to write it when I first started school
Some bully didn't like it, he said it didn't sound to cool
So I had to hit him and all I said when the blood came
It's my last name

[Verse 2]
Grandpa took of 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

[Chorus]
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

{Verse 3}
Daddy always told me far back as I recall
Son, your part of something, you represent us all
So keep it how you got it , as solid as it came
It's my last name

[Chorus]
[Verse 4]
So darling if you're wondering why I've got you here tonight
I want to be your husband, I want you to be my wife
I ain't got much to give you but what I've got means everything
It's my last name, oh, it's my last name

[Outro]
I learned how to write it when I first started school
