Something To Be Proud Of - Oklahoma Sky[00:00:00]

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[00:00:14]

Things used to be[00:00:19]

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

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-flyin'[00:01:16]

Or a newborn baby cryin'[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 graduatin' college, that[00:01:36]

Was mama's dream[00:01:39]

But I was on my way to anywhere[00:01:41]

Else when I turned 18[00:01:43]

Cuz when you gotta fast car you[00:01:46]

Think you've got everything[00:01:50]

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

I ended up broken down in some[00:02:01]

Town north of L.A.[00:02:04]

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[00:02:31]

He raised his brow[00:02:33]

Said, let me tell ya 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[00:02:41]

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

Just be thankful to be workin'[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[00:03:18]

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

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

Or a newborn baby cryin'[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]
