Something To Be Proud Of - The Country Dance Kings (乡村舞王)[00:00:00]

Written by：Jeffrey Robert Steele/Chris Wallin[00:00:01]

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[00:00:20]

About the way things used to be[00:00:24]

Well I'd just roll my eyes and make a be[00:00:31]

Line for the door[00:00:34]

But I'd always wind up starry eyed cross legged on[00:00:35]

The floor[00:00:39]

Hanging on to every word[00:00:40]

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

It was harder times and longer days[00:00:50]

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

We were cane switch raised and dirt floor poor[00:00:55]

'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[00:01:05]

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

That's something to be proud of[00:01:12]

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

That's a chin held high as the tears fall down[00:01:17]

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

Like a small town flag a flyin'[00:01:22]

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 graduate from 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]

'Cause when you gotta fast car[00:01:52]

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

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[00:02:07]

L a[00:02:10]

Working maximum hours[00:02:12]

For minimum wage[00:02:16]

Well I fell in love next thing I know[00:02:21]

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[00:02:31]

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

Well he lowered his voice then he raised his brow[00:02:36]

Said let me 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[00:02:48]

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

If you're doing what you're able[00:02:53]

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

And providing for the family that you love[00:02:58]

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

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

You can[00:03:12]

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'[00:03:30]

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[00:03:41]

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

Now that's something to be proud of[00:03:46]
