《Something to be proud of》歌词

[00:00:00] Something to be proud of - The Mick Lloyd Connection

[00:00:11] There's a story that my daddy tells religiously

[00:00:16] Like clockwork every time he sees an opening

[00:00:21] In a conversation about the way things used to be

[00:00:31] Well I'd just roll my eyes and make a bee-line for the door

[00:00:36] But I'd always wind up starry-eyed

[00:00:38] Cross-legged on the floor

[00:00:41] Hanging on to every word

[00:00:45] Man the things I heard

[00:00:51] It was harder times and longer days

[00:00:53] Five miles to school uphill both ways

[00:00:56] We were cane switch raised and dirt floor poor

[00:00:58] 'Course that was back before the war

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

[00:01:03] Flying F-15's through hostile air

[00:01:06] He went down but they missed me by a hair

[00:01:10] He'd always stop right there and say

[00:01:13] That's something to be proud of

[00:01:15] That's a life you can hang your hat on

[00:01:18] That's a chin held high as the tears fall down

[00:01:20] A gut sucked in a chest stuck out

[00:01:23] Like a small town flag a-flyin'

[00:01:25] Or a newborn baby cryin'

[00:01:27] In the arms of the woman that you love

[00:01:31] That's something to be proud of

[00:01:42] Son graduatin' college that was mama's dream

[00:01:47] But I was on my way to anywhere else when

[00:01:50] I turned 18

[00:01:52] Cuz when you gotta fast car

[00:01:56] You think you've got everything

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

[00:02:07] I ended up broken down in some town north of L A

[00:02:12] Working maximum hours for minimum wage

[00:02:22] Well I fell in love next thing I know

[00:02:24] The babies came the car got sold

[00:02:27] I sure do miss that old hot rod

[00:02:29] But you sure save gas in them foreign jobs

[00:02:32] Dad I wonder if I ever let you down

[00:02:34] If you're ashamed how I turned out

[00:02:37] Well he lowered his voice then he raised his brow

[00:02:41] Said lemme tell ya right now

[00:02:44] That's something to be proud of

[00:02:46] That's a life you can hang your hat on

[00:02:49] You don't need to make a million

[00:02:51] Just be thankful to be workin'

[00:02:54] If you're doing what you're able

[00:02:56] And putting food there on the table

[00:02:59] And providing for the family that you love

[00:03:02] That's something to be proud of

[00:03:08] And if all you ever really do is the best you can

[00:03:16] Well you did it man

[00:03:18] That's something to be proud of

[00:03:21] That's a life you can hang your hat on

[00:03:23] That's a chin held high as the tears fall down

[00:03:26] A gut sucked in a chest stuck out

[00:03:28] Like a small town flag a-flyin'

[00:03:31] Or a newborn baby cryin'

[00:03:33] In the arms of the woman that you love

[00:03:37] That's something to be proud of

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

[00:03:42] Yeah that's something to be proud of

[00:03:44] That's something to be proud of

[00:03:47] Now that's something to be proud of
