[00:00:01] Something to Be Proud Of [In the Style of Montgomery Gentry

[00:00:14] There's a story that my daddy tells religiously

[00:00:18] Like clockwork every time he sees an opening

[00:00:23] In a conversation about the way things used to be

[00:00:34] Well I'd just roll my eyes and make a be -line for the door

[00:00:38] But I'd always wind up starry-eyed cross-legged on the floor

[00:00:43] Hanging on to every word

[00:00:48] Man the things I heard

[00:00:53] It was harder times and longer days

[00:00:55] Five miles to school uphill both ways

[00:00:58] We were cane switch raised and dirt floor poor

[00:01:01] 'Course that was back before the war

[00:01:03] Yeah your uncle and I made quite a pair

[00:01:06] Flying F-15's through hostile air

[00:01:08] He went down but they missed me by a hair

[00:01:13] He'd always stop right there and say

[00:01:15] That's something to be proud of

[00:01:18] That's a life you can hang your hat on

[00:01:20] That's a chin held high as the tears fall down

[00:01:23] A gut sucked in a chest stuck out

[00:01:25] Like a small town flag a-flyin'

[00:01:28] Or a newborn baby cryin'

[00:01:30] In the arms of the woman that you love

[00:01:34] That's something to be proud of

[00:01:45] Son graduate from college that was mama's dream

[00:01:50] But I was on my way to anywhere else when I turned 18

[00:01:55] 'Cause when you gotta fast car you think you've got everything

[00:02:05] I learned quick those GTO's don't run on faith

[00:02:10] I ended up broken down in some town north of L A

[00:02:15] Working maximum hours for minimum wage

[00:02:25] Well I fell in love next thing I know

[00:02:28] The babies came the car got sold

[00:02:30] I sure do miss that old hot rod

[00:02:32] But you sure save gas in them foreign jobs

[00:02:35] Dad I wonder if I ever let you down

[00:02:37] If you're ashamed how I turned out

[00:02:40] Well he lowered his voice then he raised his brow

[00:02:44] Said let me tell ya right now

[00:02:47] That's something to be proud of

[00:02:49] That's a life you can hang your hat on

[00:02:52] You don't need to make a million

[00:02:54] Just be thankful to be workin'

[00:02:56] If you're doing what you're able

[00:02:59] And putting food there on the table

[00:03:02] And providing for the family that you love

[00:03:06] That's something to be proud of

[00:03:12] And if all you ever really do is the best you can

[00:03:19] Well you did it man

[00:03:22] That's something to be proud of

[00:03:24] That's a life you can hang your hat on

[00:03:27] That's a chin held high as the tears fall down

[00:03:29] A gut sucked in a chest stuck out

[00:03:32] Like a small town flag a-flyin'

[00:03:34] Or a newborn baby cryin'

[00:03:36] In the arms of the woman that you love

[00:03:40] That's something to be proud of

[00:03:43] That's something to be proud of

[00:03:45] Yeah that's something to be proud of

[00:03:48] That's something to be proud of

[00:03:50] Now that's something to be proud
