Merle Haggard Miscellaneous I Take A Lot Of Pride In What I Am (1969) Things I’ve learned in a hobo jungle Are things they never taught me in a classroom Like where to find a handout While bumming through Chicago in the middle of the afternoon Hey I’m not bragging or complaining I’m just talking to myself man to man But this mental fat I’m chewing did take a lot of doing But I take a lot of pride in what I am I guess I grew up a loner I don’t remember ever having any folks around And I keep thumbing through the phone books And looking for my daddy’s name in every town I meet lots of friendly people But I always wind up leaving on the lam Hey where I’ve been and where I’m going didn’t take a lot of knowing But I take a lot of pride in what I am Never travel in a hurry Cause I got nobody waiting for me anywhere Home is anywhere I’m living If it’s sleeping on a vacant bench in city square Or if I’m working on some road gang or living off the back of our great man I’ve never been nobody’s idol at least I got a title I take a lot of pride in what I am I’ve never been nobody’s idol at least I got a title I take a lot of pride in what I am I take a lot of pride in what I am I take a lot of pride in what I am |
