[Lyric] Namesake (Them Coulee Boys)

Met my grandpa, he was black & white
And a few years from his teens
Held my father towards the flashing light in 1963
There’s my grandma standing to the side
Got my auntie round her knees
Only standing about 5 foot 5
But she seemed so tall to me

And I’m told I have the same face as my namesake
We’re all going to the same place when we’re done
Even if we all ain’t got the same names
I’ll be proud to call you family sure enough

Some jumped from airplanеs, some ran the family farm
They raisеd my dad, my mom, and they raised me
Some aren’t related by words or blood
But they’re still your family

And I’m told I have the same face as my namesake
We’re all going to the same place when we’re done
Even if we all ain’t got the same names
I’ll be proud to call you family sure enough
I hope I’ve grown to be my mother
By the time I have a son
I hope he takes after my father
I hope they just be who they want
I hope my friends will all surround them
Like crazy uncles and aunts
I hope they know that they don’t have
To be related to be loved

It’s just love
It’s just love
It’s just love
It’s just love
It’s just love
It’s just love
It’s just love
It’s just love

And I’m told I have the same face as my namesake
We’re all going to the same place when we’re done
Even if we all ain’t got the same names
I’ll be proud to call you family sure enough

And I’m told I have the same face as my namesake
We’re all going to the same place when we’re done
Even if we all ain’t got the same names
I’ll be proud to call you family sure enough
