"Last Name" lyrics

"Last Name"

I never told my daddy goodbye
But the man in the mirror has his eyes
Most days I feel like I'm a stranger
Full of anger I can't hide

The apple don't fall far from the tree
The grass ain't green but the roots are deep
What you get ain't always what you see

I'm cut from the same cloth of all the outlaws that came before me
I walk the path they paved but there's two sides to every story
Stage lights cast a shadow that's darker than you think
I might be country gold but you don't know the first thing
About my last name

Those front row seats can't see back stage
Bloodshot eyes behind black shades
You don't know the hand I's dealt you just call a spade a spade
But there's a blessing and a curse to the blood that run in these veins

I'm cut from the same cloth of all the outlaws that came before me
I walk the path they paved but there's two sides to every story
Stage lights cast a shadow that's darker than you think
I might be country gold but you don't know the first thing
About my last name
About my last name

I'm cut from the same cloth of all the outlaws that came before me
I walk the path they paved but there's two sides to every story
Stage lights cast a shadow that's darker than you think
I might be country gold but you don't know the first thing
About my last name

I never told my daddy goodbye
But the man in the mirror has his eyes
