Something to Be Proud Of - Ameritz Tribute Club (Ameritz翻唱俱乐部)[00:00:01]

Written by：Jeffrey Steele/Chris Allen Wallin/Jeffery Steele[00:00:03]

There's a story that my daddy tells religiously[00:00:05]

Like clockwork every time he sees an opening[00:00:10]

In a conversation about the way things used to be[00:00:14]

Well I'd just roll my eyes[00:00:25]

And make a bee-line for the door[00:00:27]

But I'd always wind up starry-eyed[00:00:29]

Cross-legged on the floor[00:00:32]

Hanging on to every word[00:00:34]

Man the things I heard[00:00:39]

It was harder times and longer days[00:00:44]

Five miles to school uphill both ways[00:00:47]

We were cane switch raised and dirt floor poor[00:00:49]

'Course that was back before the war[00:00:52]

Yeah your uncle and I made quite a pair[00:00:54]

Flying F-15's through hostile air[00:00:57]

He went down but they missed me by a hair[00:00:59]

He'd always stop right there and say[00:01:04]

That's something to be proud of[00:01:07]

That's a life you can hang your hat on[00:01:09]

That's a chin held high as the tears fall down[00:01:11]

A gut sucked in a chest stuck out[00:01:14]

Like a small town flag a-flying[00:01:16]

Or a newborn baby crying[00:01:19]

In the arms of the woman that you love[00:01:21]

That's something to be proud of[00:01:25]

Son graduating college that was mama's dream[00:01:36]

But I was on my way to anywhere else when I turned 18[00:01:41]

'Cuz when you gotta fast car you think you've got everything[00:01:46]

I learned quick those GTO's don't run on faith[00:01:56]

I ended up broken down in some town north of L A[00:02:01]

Working maximum hours for minimum wage[00:02:06]

Well I fell in love next thing I know[00:02:16]

The babies came the car got sold[00:02:18]

I sure do miss that old hot rod[00:02:21]

But you sure save gas in them foreign jobs[00:02:23]

Dad I wonder if I ever let you down[00:02:26]

If you're ashamed how I turned out[00:02:28]

Well he lowered his voice then he raised his brow[00:02:31]

Said let me tell you right now[00:02:35]

That's something to be proud of[00:02:38]

That's a life you can hang your hat on[00:02:40]

You don't need to make a million[00:02:43]

Just be thankful to be working[00:02:45]

If you're doing what you're able[00:02:48]

And putting food there on the table[00:02:50]

And providing for the family that you love[00:02:53]

That's something to be proud of[00:02:57]

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

Well you did it man[00:03:10]

That's something to be proud of[00:03:13]

That's a life you can hang your hat on[00:03:15]

That's a chin held high as the tears fall down[00:03:17]

A gut sucked in a chest stuck out[00:03:20]

Like a small town flag a-flying[00:03:23]

Or a newborn baby crying[00:03:25]

In the arms of the woman that you love[00:03:27]

That's something to be proud of[00:03:31]

That's something to be proud of[00:03:34]

Yeah that's something to be proud of[00:03:36]

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

Now that's something to be proud of[00:03:41]
