Testo I Take a Lot of Pride in What I Am - Merle Haggard

Testo della canzone I Take a Lot of Pride in What I Am (Merle Haggard), tratta dall'album Greatest Hits, Vol. 1

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
