Half Of My Last Name Lyrics

Mama never sang me no lullabies

She said child you'll work til the day that you die

Oh Lord, I think she was right

I get up for work with the sunrise

And I never seem to punch out at five

Oh Lord, I'm just trying to survive

Busting my ass so they can't throw dirt on my name

But they do it anyway

Cause I'm the son of a son a God fearing man

Sweat on his brow, calloused hands

I come from a long line you wouldn't understand

'Less you're in the band and you ain't

So get off your high horse

Stay in your lane

You don't know the half of my last name

I say kids these days when i'm one of 'em myself

Still had a smile walking miles through hell

Oh mom, I guess you were right

I'm the dumbest smart kid that you'll ever know

But nothing I do is ever for show

And oh woah ain't that how it should be

Busting my ass so they can't throw dirt on my name

But they do it anyway

Cause I'm the son of a son a God fearing man

Sweat on his brow, calloused hands

I come from a long line you wouldn't understand

'Less you're in the band and you ain't

So get off your high horse

Stay in your lane

You don't know the half of my last name

And I can't blame it all on my mama

She inherited this name too

So then I turn and look to my father

And see his shitty ol' boots

Cause he's the son of a son of a hardworking man

Sweat on his brow, calloused hands

He comes from a long line you wouldn't understand

'Less you're in the band and you ain't

So get off your high horse

Stay in your lane

You don't know the half of my last name
