I Take a Lot of Pride in What I Am - Merle Haggard[00:00:00]
Things I learned in hobo jungle[00:00:09]
Were things they never taught me in a class room[00:00:13]
Like where to find a hand out[00:00:20]
While bummin' through Chicago in the afternoon[00:00:24]
Hey I'm not braggin' or complainin'[00:00:30]
I'm just talkin' to myself man to man[00:00:33]
This ol' mental fat I'm chewin' didn't take a lotta doin'[00:00:40]
But I take a lot of pride in what I am[00:00:45]
I guess I grew up a loner[00:00:51]
I don't remember ever havin' any folks around[00:00:55]
But I keep thumbin' through the phonebooks[00:01:02]
And looking for my daddy's name in every town[00:01:06]
And I meet lots of friendly people but[00:01:13]
I'll always wind up leavin' on the lam[00:01:16]
Hey where I've been or where[00:01:22]
I'm goin' didn't take a lotta knowin'[00:01:24]
But I take a lot of pride in what I am[00:01:27]
I never travel in a hurry[00:01:34]
Because I got nobody waitin' for me anywhere[00:01:38]
Home is anywhere I'm livin'[00:01:45]
If it's sleepin' on some vacant bench in City Square[00:01:48]
Or if I'm workin' on some road gang[00:01:55]
Or just livin' off the fat of our great land[00:01:58]
I never been nobody's idol but at least I got a title[00:02:04]
And I take a lot of pride in what I am[00:02:10]
I never been nobody's idol[00:02:16]
But at least I got a title[00:02:19]
I take a lot of pride in what I am[00:02:21]
I take a lot of pride in what I am[00:02:28]
I take a lot of pride in what I am[00:02:35]
