I Take A Lot Of Pride |
| Things I learned in hobo jungle were things they never taught me in a class room |
| Like where to find a hand out while bummin' through Chicago in the afternoon |
| Now I’m not braggin' or complainin' I’m just talkin' to myself man to man |
| This ol' mental fat I’m chewin' didn’t take a lotta doin' |
| But I take a lot of pride in what I am |
| I guess I grew up a loner I don’t remember ever havin' any folks around |
| But I keep thumbin' through the phone books |
| And looking for my daddy’s name in every town |
| And I meet lots of friendly people but I’ll always line up leavin' on the lam |
| Hey where I’ve been or where I’m goin' didn’t take a lotta knowin' |
| But I take a lot of pride in what I am |
| I never travel in a hurry cause I’ve got nobody waitin' for me anywhere |
| Home is anywhere I’m livin' if it’s sleepin' on some vacant bench in City Square |
| Or if I’m workin' on some road gang or just livin' off the fat of our great land |
| I’ve never been nobody’s idol but at least I got a title |
| And I take a lot of pride in what I am |
| I’ve never been nobody’s idol but at least I got a title |
| And I take a lot of pride in what I am I take a lot of pride in what I am |
