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 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, 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 wanna 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
