《I Take a Lot of Pride in What I Am》歌词

[00:00:00] I Take a Lot of Pride in What I Am - Merle Haggard (梅尔·哈格德)/Earl Scruggs

[00:00:09] Things I learned in hobo jungle

[00:00:13] Were things they never taught me in a class room

[00:00:20] Like where to find a hand out

[00:00:24] While bummin' through Chicago in the afternoon

[00:00:30] Hey I'm not braggin' or complainin'

[00:00:33] I'm just talkin' to myself man to man

[00:00:40] This ol' mental fat I'm chewin' didn't take a lotta doin'

[00:00:45] But I take a lot of pride in what I am

[00:00:51] I guess I grew up a loner

[00:00:55] I don't remember ever havin' any folks around

[00:01:02] But I keep thumbin' through the phonebooks

[00:01:06] And looking for my daddy's name in every town

[00:01:13] And I meet lots of friendly people but

[00:01:16] I'll always wind up leavin' on the lam

[00:01:22] Hey where I've been or where

[00:01:24] I'm goin' didn't take a lotta knowin'

[00:01:27] But I take a lot of pride in what I am

[00:01:34] I never travel in a hurry

[00:01:38] Because I got nobody waitin' for me anywhere

[00:01:45] Home is anywhere I'm livin'

[00:01:48] If it's sleepin' on some vacant bench in City Square

[00:01:55] Or if I'm workin' on some road gang

[00:01:58] Or just livin' off the fat of our great land

[00:02:04] I never been nobody's idol but at least I got a title

[00:02:10] And I take a lot of pride in what I am

[00:02:16] I never been nobody's idol

[00:02:19] But at least I got a title

[00:02:21] I take a lot of pride in what I am

[00:02:28] I take a lot of pride in what I am

[00:02:35] I take a lot of pride in what I am
