MY LAST NAME

Bank on the line, there’s a lock on the gate
The cows won’t milk and the taxman he won’t wait
The tractor don’t run ‘cause there ain’t no grain
All I got left are callouses and my last name

Jenny she passed on early today
Twenty-seven years gone by, I never thought she’d stay
The kids are packing up their things, we’ll never be the same
I watch them as they take their leave and go with my last name

Lay me down when it comes my time
Down to that old cripple creek where the sun likes to shine
Land in my soul, dirt in my veins
Hammer me a good wooden cross, put on it my last name

Sheriff McCall he was a friend of mine
Momma used to take us to see him when we went to the Five & Dime
‘Protect and serve’ he would often say
Working for the bank now he’s got papers with my last name

This sweet remorse, hating what I gotta do
But I’m just a hard oak tree, you can’t pull up my roots
There’s blood on the ground, looks like it’s gonna rain
I’m gonna take my stand with a pistol and my last name

When that trumpet sounds I’ll be singing that funeral song
You know that I will be the one who is moving on
Saint Peter, won’t you meet me at them pearly gates
All I got is this guitar and my last name
