Something To Be Proud Of

In the style of

Montgomery Gentry

Lyrics

there's a story that
my daddy tells
religiously

like clockwork
everytime
he sees an opening
in a conversation
'bout the way
things used to be

well i'd just
roll my eyes
and make a beeline
for the door

but i'd always end up
starry-eyed
cross-legged
on the floor
hangin' on
to every word
man the things i heard

it was harder times
and longer days
five miles to school
uphill both ways

we were
cane-switch raised
and dirt-floor poor
'course that was
back before the war

yeah your uncle and i
made quite a pair
flyin' f-15's through
hostile air

he went down
but they missed me
by a hair
he'd always stop
right there and say

that's somethin'
to be proud of
that's a life
you can hang
your hat on

that's a chin
held high
as a tear
falls down
a gut sucked in
a chest stuck out
like a small-town
flag a-flyin'

or a newborn
baby cryin'
in the arms of
the woman
that you love
that's somethin'
to be proud of

a son
graduatin' college
that was mama's dream

but i was on my way to
anywhere else
when i
turned eighteen

'cause when
you got a fast car
you think
you got everything

but i learned quick
those g.t.o.'s
don't run on faith

and i ended up
broken down
in some town
north of l.a.

workin'
maximum hours
for minimum wage

well i fell in love
next thing i know
the babies came
the car got slow

sure do miss
that old hot rod
but you sure
save gas in them
foreign jobs

dad i wonder if
i ever let you down
if you're ashamed
how i turned out

well he lowered
his voice
then he
raised his brow
said let me
tell you right now

that's somethin'
to be proud of
that's a life
you can hang
your hat on

you don't need
to make a million
just be thankful
to be workin'
if you're doin'
what you're able
and puttin' food
there on the table

and providing for
the family
that you love
that's somethin'
to be proud of

and if all you
ever really do
is the best you can
well you did it man

that's somethin'
to be proud of
that's a life you can
hang your hat on

that's a chin
held high
as a tear
falls down
gut sucked in
chest stuck out
like a small-town
flag a-flyin'

or a newborn
baby cryin'
in the arms of
the woman
that you love

that's somethin'
to be proud of
that's somethin'
to be proud of
yeah that's somethin'
to be proud of

that's somethin'
to be proud of
now that's somethin'
to be
proud of
