Something to Be Proud Of [In the Style of Montgomery Gentry [00:00:01]
There's a story that my daddy tells religiously[00:00:14]
Like clockwork every time he sees an opening[00:00:18]
In a conversation about the way things used to be[00:00:23]
Well I'd just roll my eyes and make a be -line for the door[00:00:34]
But I'd always wind up starry-eyed cross-legged on the floor[00:00:38]
Hanging on to every word[00:00:43]
Man the things I heard[00:00:48]
It was harder times and longer days[00:00:53]
Five miles to school uphill both ways[00:00:55]
We were cane switch raised and dirt floor poor[00:00:58]
'Course that was back before the war[00:01:01]
Yeah your uncle and I made quite a pair[00:01:03]
Flying F-15's through hostile air[00:01:06]
He went down but they missed me by a hair[00:01:08]
He'd always stop right there and say [00:01:13]
That's something to be proud of[00:01:15]
That's a life you can hang your hat on[00:01:18]
That's a chin held high as the tears fall down[00:01:20]
A gut sucked in a chest stuck out[00:01:23]
Like a small town flag a-flyin'[00:01:25]
Or a newborn baby cryin'[00:01:28]
In the arms of the woman that you love[00:01:30]
That's something to be proud of[00:01:34]
Son graduate from college that was mama's dream[00:01:45]
But I was on my way to anywhere else when I turned 18[00:01:50]
'Cause when you gotta fast car you think you've got everything[00:01:55]
I learned quick those GTO's don't run on faith[00:02:05]
I ended up broken down in some town north of L A [00:02:10]
Working maximum hours for minimum wage[00:02:15]
Well I fell in love next thing I know[00:02:25]
The babies came the car got sold[00:02:28]
I sure do miss that old hot rod[00:02:30]
But you sure save gas in them foreign jobs[00:02:32]
Dad I wonder if I ever let you down[00:02:35]
If you're ashamed how I turned out[00:02:37]
Well he lowered his voice then he raised his brow[00:02:40]
Said let me tell ya right now[00:02:44]
That's something to be proud of[00:02:47]
That's a life you can hang your hat on[00:02:49]
You don't need to make a million[00:02:52]
Just be thankful to be workin'[00:02:54]
If you're doing what you're able[00:02:56]
And putting food there on the table[00:02:59]
And providing for the family that you love[00:03:02]
That's something to be proud of[00:03:06]
And if all you ever really do is the best you can[00:03:12]
Well you did it man[00:03:19]
That's something to be proud of[00:03:22]
That's a life you can hang your hat on[00:03:24]
That's a chin held high as the tears fall down[00:03:27]
A gut sucked in a chest stuck out[00:03:29]
Like a small town flag a-flyin'[00:03:32]
Or a newborn baby cryin'[00:03:34]
In the arms of the woman that you love[00:03:36]
That's something to be proud of[00:03:40]
That's something to be proud of[00:03:43]
Yeah that's something to be proud of[00:03:45]
That's something to be proud of[00:03:48]
Now that's something to be proud[00:03:50]
