lyrics

It’s painted on a mailbox
Where somebody planted roots
Etched into some dog tags
To tell you who's in them combat boots

It’s blood and sweat on a blue collared shirt
It’s seven generations in a word
It’s what your friends call you
And makes you stand tall and
It’s who you are and where you came from

It’s for Friday nights under them stadium lights
Hearing them call it out on the speakers
Hometown touchdown, sold out bleachers
It’s for that one girl who changes your whole world
It’s for buying that diamond and saying I do
Next thing you got one that looks just like you
One day he’ll grow up and pass the flame
That’s why they make last names

It belonged to your daddy
And his daddy before him
One day It’s gonna make it
All the way to your kid’s grandkids
It’s for carving in a headstone
It’s for making sure it lives on

It’s for Friday nights under them stadium lights
Hearing them call it out on the speakers
Hometown touchdown, sold out bleachers
It’s for that one girl who changes your whole world
It’s for buying that diamond and saying I do
Next thing you got one with her baby blues
One day she'll grow up and give it away
That’s why they make last names

It’s what your friends call you
It makes you stand tall and
It’s who you are and where you came from

It’s for Friday nights under them stadium lights
Hearing them call it out on the speakers
Hometown touchdown, sold out bleachers
It’s for that one girl who changes your whole world
It’s for buying that diamond and saying I do
Yeah, she’ll get older and so will you
Everything around you is about to change
And that’s okay
That’s why they make last names

Kevin Stokley Cincinnati, Ohio

“Kevin Stokley has magnified and glorified the intersecting sweet spot of love for distinctly country music, swelling guitar string arrangements and the tricky craft of writing songs that are both intensely personal and universally identifiable.”
