Dierks Bentley - My Last Name lyrics

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

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

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 something
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 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

I learned how to write it
When I first started school
