Merle Haggard - I Take A Lot Of Pride In What I Am текст песни

Исполнитель: Merle Haggard

альбом: American Country Legend


Things I learned in a hobo jungle
Were things they never taught me in a classroom
Like where to find a handout
While bumpin' through Chicago in the afternoon
Hey, I'm not braggin' or complainin'
Just talkin' to myself man to man
This whole metal fat I'm chewin' didn't take a lot of 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
I keep thumbin' through the phone books
And lookin' for my daddy's name in every town
I made lots of friendly people
But I always end up leavin' on the lam
Aye, where I've been or where I'm goin' didn't take a lot of knowin'
But I'll take a lot of pride in what I am
I never travel in a hurry
'Cause I 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 never being nobody's idol but at least I got a title
I take a lot of pride in what I am
I never being 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
I take a lot of pride in what I am
