Something To Be Proud Of [In the Style of Montgomery Gentry[00:00:00]
There's a story that my daddy tells religiously[00:00:10]
Like clockwork everytime he see's an opening[00:00:14]
In a conversation 'bout the way things use to be[00:00:19]
I just roll my eyes and make a B line for the door[00:00:29]
I'd always end up starry eyes[00:00:34]
And cross legged on the floor[00:00:36]
Hangin onto every word[00:00:39]
Man the things I heard[00:00:43]
It was harder times and longer days[00:00:49]
Five miles to school uphill both ways[00:00:51]
We were cane switched raised and dirt floor poor[00:00:54]
Course that was back before the war[00:00:56]
Yeah your uncle and I made quit a pair[00:00:58]
Flyin F-15's through hostile air[00:01:01]
He went down but they missed me by a hair[00:01:04]
He'd always stop right there and say[00:01:08]
That's something to be proud of[00:01:11]
That's a life you can hang your hat on[00:01:13]
That's a chin held high as the tears fall down[00:01:16]
A gut sucked in a chest stuck out[00:01:19]
Like a small town flag a flyin'[00:01:21]
Or a newborn baby cryin'[00:01:23]
In the arms of the woman that you love[00:01:25]
That's something to be proud of[00:01:29]
Son graduate from college[00:01:40]
That was mama's dream[00:01:43]
But I was on my way to[00:01:45]
Anywhere else when I turned 18[00:01:47]
'Cause when you gotta fast car[00:01:50]
You think you've got everything[00:01:54]
I learned quick those GTO's don't run on faith[00:02:00]
I ended up broken down in so[00:02:05]
Me town north of LA[00:02:08]
Working maximum hours for minimum wage[00:02:10]
Well I fell in love next thing I know[00:02:20]
The babies came the car got sold[00:02:23]
I sure do miss that old hot rod[00:02:25]
But you sure save gas in them foreign jobs[00:02:27]
Dad I wonder if I ever let you down[00:02:30]
If you're ashamed how I turned out[00:02:32]
Well he lowered his voice then he raised his brow[00:02:35]
Said let me tell ya right now[00:02:40]
That's something to be proud of[00:02:42]
That's a life you can hang your hat on[00:02:44]
You don't need to make a million[00:02:47]
Just be thankful to be workin'[00:02:49]
If you're doing what you're able[00:02:52]
And putting food there on the table[00:02:54]
And providing for the family that you love[00:02:57]
That's something to be proud of[00:03:00]
And if all you ever really do is the best you can[00:03:06]
Well you did it man[00:03:14]
That's something to be proud of[00:03:16]
That's a life you can hang your hat on[00:03:19]
That's a chin held high as the tears fall down[00:03:21]
A gut sucked in a chest stuck out[00:03:24]
Like a small town flag a flyin'[00:03:26]
Or a newborn baby cryin'[00:03:29]
In the arms of the woman that you love[00:03:31]
That's something to be proud of[00:03:35]
That's something to be proud of[00:03:38]
Yeah that's something to be proud of[00:03:40]
That's something to be proud of[00:03:42]
Now that's something to be proud of[00:03:45]
