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 Headsone

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



Daddy Always Told Me Far Back As I Recall

Son, You're Part Of Somethin',

You Represent Us All

So I 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

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
