Текст и слова песни Dean Martin – I Take a Lot of Pride in What I Am
(Merle Haggard)
Things I learned in hobo jungle were things they never taught me in a class room
Like where to find a hand out while bummin through Chicago in the afternoon
Hey I m not bragging or complaining I m just talking to myself man to man
This old mental fat I m chewing didn t take a lotta 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
But I keep thumbin through the phone books
And looking for my daddy s name in every town
And I meet lots of people but I ll always end up leavin on the lam
Hey where I ve been or where I m going didn t take a lotta knowing
But I take a lot of pride in what I am.
I never travel in a hurry cause I got nobody waitin for me anywhere
Home is anywhere I m living if it s sleeping on some vacant bench in City Square
Or if I m working on some road gang or just living off the fat of our great land
I never been nobody s idol but at least I got a title
And I take a lot of pride in what I am.
This old mental fat I m chewing didn t take a lotta doing
But I take a lot of pride in what I am
Oh where I ve been or where I m going didn t take a lotta knowing
But I take a lot of pride in what I am...
