《Something To Be Proud Of》歌词

[00:00:00] Something To Be Proud Of - Oklahoma Sky

[00:00:05] There's a story that my daddy tells religiously

[00:00:10] Like clockwork every time he sees an opening

[00:00:14] In a conversation about the way

[00:00:19] Things used to be

[00:00:25] Well I'd just roll my eyes and make

[00:00:27] A bee-line for the door

[00:00:29] But I'd always wind up starry-eyed,

[00:00:32] Cross-legged on the floor

[00:00:34] Hanging on to every word

[00:00:39] Man, the things I heard

[00:00:44] It was harder times and longer days

[00:00:47] Five miles to school, uphill both ways

[00:00:49] We were cane switch raised, and dirt floor poor

[00:00:52] 'Course that was back before the war

[00:00:54] Yeah, your uncle and I made quite a pair

[00:00:57] Flying F-15's through hostile air

[00:00:59] He went down but they missed me by a hair

[00:01:04] He'd always stop right there and say...

[00:01:07] That's something to be proud of

[00:01:09] That's a life you can hang your hat on

[00:01:11] That's a chin held high as the tears fall down

[00:01:14] A gut sucked in, a chest stuck out

[00:01:16] Like a small town flag a-flyin'

[00:01:19] Or a newborn baby cryin'

[00:01:21] In the arms of the woman that you love

[00:01:25] That's something to be proud of

[00:01:36] Son graduatin' college, that

[00:01:39] Was mama's dream

[00:01:41] But I was on my way to anywhere

[00:01:43] Else when I turned 18

[00:01:46] Cuz when you gotta fast car you

[00:01:50] Think you've got everything

[00:01:56] I learned quick those GTO's don't run on faith

[00:02:01] I ended up broken down in some

[00:02:04] Town north of L.A.

[00:02:06] Working maximum hours for minimum wage

[00:02:16] Well, I fell in love, next thing I know

[00:02:18] The babies came, the car got sold

[00:02:21] I sure do miss that old hot rod

[00:02:23] But you sure save gas in them foreign jobs

[00:02:26] Dad, I wonder if I ever let you down

[00:02:28] If you're ashamed how I turned out

[00:02:31] Well, he lowered his voice, then

[00:02:33] He raised his brow

[00:02:35] Said, let me tell ya right now

[00:02:38] That's something to be proud of

[00:02:41] That's a life you can hang your hat on

[00:02:43] You don't need to make a million

[00:02:45] Just be thankful to be workin'

[00:02:48] If you're doing what you're able

[00:02:50] And putting food there on the table

[00:02:53] And providing for the family that you love

[00:02:57] That's something to be proud of

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

[00:03:10] Well, you did it man

[00:03:13] That's something to be proud of

[00:03:15] That's a life you can hang your hat on

[00:03:18] That's a chin held high as the tears fall down

[00:03:20] A gut sucked in, a chest stuck out

[00:03:23] Like a small town flag a-flyin'

[00:03:25] Or a newborn baby cryin'

[00:03:27] In the arms of the woman that you love

[00:03:31] That's something to be proud of

[00:03:34] That's something to be proud of

[00:03:36] Yeah, that's something to be proud of

[00:03:39] That's something to be proud of

[00:03:41] Now that's something to be proud of
