I Take A Lot Of Pride In What I Am

[00:08.94] Things I learned in a hobo jungle
[00:12.38] Were things they never taught me in a classroom
[00:19.04] Like where to find a handout
[00:22.44] While bumpin' through Chicago in the afternoon
[00:28.69] Hey, I'm not braggin' or complainin'
[00:31.59] Just talkin' to myself man to man
[00:38.05] This whole metal fat I'm chewin' didn't take a lot of doin'
[00:42.54] But I take a lot of pride in what I am
[00:49.11] I guess I grew up a loner
[00:52.63] I don't remember ever havin' any folks around
[00:59.26] I keep thumbin' through the phone books
[01:02.95] And lookin' for my daddy's name in every town
[01:09.55] I made lots of friendly people
[01:12.31] But I always end up leavin' on the lam
[01:18.16] Aye, where I've been or where I'm goin' didn't take a lot of knowin'
[01:23.30] But I'll take a lot of pride in what I am
[01:29.79] I never travel in a hurry
[01:33.46] 'Cause I got nobody waitin' for me anywhere
[01:39.98] Home is anywhere I'm livin'
[01:43.17] If it's sleepin' on some vacant bench in City Square
[01:49.62] Or if I'm workin' on some road gang
[01:52.42] Or just livin' off the fat of our great land
[01:58.67] I never being nobody's idol but at least I got a title
[02:03.66] I take a lot of pride in what I am
[02:09.95] I never being nobody's idol but at least I got a title
[02:14.87] And I take a lot of pride in what I am
[02:21.51] I take a lot of pride in what I am
[02:28.17] I take a lot of pride in what I am
[02:33.69]
