Something to be proud of - The Mick Lloyd Connection[00:00:00]

There's a story that my daddy tells religiously[00:00:11]

Like clockwork every time he sees an opening[00:00:16]

In a conversation about the way things used to be[00:00:21]

Well I'd just roll my eyes and make a bee-line for the door[00:00:31]

But I'd always wind up starry-eyed [00:00:36]

Cross-legged on the floor[00:00:38]

Hanging on to every word[00:00:41]

Man the things I heard[00:00:45]

It was harder times and longer days[00:00:51]

Five miles to school uphill both ways[00:00:53]

We were cane switch raised and dirt floor poor[00:00:56]

'Course that was back before the war[00:00:58]

Yeah your uncle and I made quite a pair[00:01:00]

Flying F-15's through hostile air[00:01:03]

He went down but they missed me by a hair[00:01:06]

He'd always stop right there and say [00:01:10]

That's something to be proud of[00:01:13]

That's a life you can hang your hat on[00:01:15]

That's a chin held high as the tears fall down[00:01:18]

A gut sucked in a chest stuck out[00:01:20]

Like a small town flag a-flyin'[00:01:23]

Or a newborn baby cryin'[00:01:25]

In the arms of the woman that you love[00:01:27]

That's something to be proud of[00:01:31]

Son graduatin' college that was mama's dream[00:01:42]

But I was on my way to anywhere else when[00:01:47]

I turned 18[00:01:50]

Cuz when you gotta fast car[00:01:52]

You think you've got everything[00:01:56]

I learned quick those GTO's don't run on faith[00:02:02]

I ended up broken down in some town north of L A [00:02:07]

Working maximum hours for minimum wage[00:02:12]

Well I fell in love next thing I know[00:02:22]

The babies came the car got sold[00:02:24]

I sure do miss that old hot rod[00:02:27]

But you sure save gas in them foreign jobs[00:02:29]

Dad I wonder if I ever let you down[00:02:32]

If you're ashamed how I turned out[00:02:34]

Well he lowered his voice then he raised his brow[00:02:37]

Said lemme tell ya right now[00:02:41]

That's something to be proud of[00:02:44]

That's a life you can hang your hat on[00:02:46]

You don't need to make a million[00:02:49]

Just be thankful to be workin'[00:02:51]

If you're doing what you're able[00:02:54]

And putting food there on the table[00:02:56]

And providing for the family that you love[00:02:59]

That's something to be proud of[00:03:02]

And if all you ever really do is the best you can[00:03:08]

Well you did it man[00:03:16]

That's something to be proud of[00:03:18]

That's a life you can hang your hat on[00:03:21]

That's a chin held high as the tears fall down[00:03:23]

A gut sucked in a chest stuck out[00:03:26]

Like a small town flag a-flyin'[00:03:28]

Or a newborn baby cryin'[00:03:31]

In the arms of the woman that you love[00:03:33]

That's something to be proud of[00:03:37]

That's something to be proud of[00:03:39]

Yeah that's something to be proud of[00:03:42]

That's something to be proud of[00:03:44]

Now that's something to be proud of[00:03:47]
