歌詞

There's a story that my daddy tells religiously Like clockwork every time he sees an opening In a conversation about the way things used to be Well I'd just roll my eyes and make a bee line for the door But I'd always wind up starry eyed cross legged on the floor Hanging 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 Flying 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 something to be proud of That's a life you can hang your hat on That's a chin held high as the tears fall down A gut sucked in a chest stuck out Like a small town flag a flying Or a newborn baby crying In the arms of the woman that you love That's something to be proud of So I'm graduating college that was mama's dream But I was on my way to anywhere else when I turned 18 Cuz when you gotta fast car you think you've got everything I learned quick those GTO's don't run on faith I ended up broken down in some town north of L A Working maximum hours for minimum wage Well I fell in love next thing I know The babies came the car got slow I 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 lemme tell ya right now That's something 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 working If you're doing what you're able And putting food there on the table And providing for the family that you love That's something to be proud of And if all you ever really do is the best you can Well you did it man That's something to be proud of That's a life you can hang your hat on That's a chin held high as the tears fall down A gut sucked in a chest stuck out Like a small town flag a flying Or a newborn baby crying In the arms of the woman that you love That's something to be proud of That's something to be proud of Yeah that's something to be proud of That's something to be proud of Now that's something to be proud of
