I Take A Lot Of Pride In What I Am Lyrics

I Take A Lot Of Pride In What I Am lyrics

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



Hey 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' folks around



But I keep thumbin' through the phone books



And lookin' for my daddy's name in every town



And I meet lots of friendly people but I'll always wind 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 working on some road gang or just living off the fat of our great
land



I've never been nobody's idol but at least I've 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've got a title



And I take a lot of pride in what I am



I take a lot of pride in what I am
