Montgomery Gentry - Something to Be Proud Of lyrics
There's a story tht my daddy tells religiously Like clockwork everytime he see's an opening In a conversation About the way things use to be I just roll my eyes and make a B-line for the door I'd always end up stary eyes and cross legged on the floor Hangin onto every word Man the things I heard It was harder times and longer days Five miles to school uphill both ways We were cane switiched raised and dirt floor poor Course that was back before the war Yea your uncle and I made quit a pair Flyin F-15's through hostile air He went down but they missed me by a hair He'd always stop right there and say That's something to be proud of That's a life you can hang your hat on As your chins held high as the tears fall down Gut sucked in, chest stuck out Like a small town flag a flyin Or a new born baby cryin In the arms of the woman that you love That's something to be proud of Son graduatin college, that was momma's dream And I was on my way to anywhere else when I turned eighteen That's when I got a fast car, and think you got everything I learned real quick those GTO's don't run off faith I ended up broke down in some town north of L.A. Working maximum hours, for minimum wage I fell in love next thing I know Babies came and the car got sold Sure do miss that old hot rod But you sure save gas in them foriegn jobs Dad I wonder if I ever let you down If you're ashamed how I turned out Well he lowered his voice, then he raised his brow Said let me tell you now That's something to be proud of That's a life you can hang your hat on No need to make a million just be thankful to be workin If you doin what you're able Puttin food there on the table And providing for the family that you love That's something to be proud of And before you ever really do is the best you can Well you did it man That's something to be proud of That's life you can hang your hat on As your chins held high as the tears fall down Gut sucked in, Chest sucked out Like a small town flag a flyin Or a new born baby cryin In the arms of thw woman that you love That's something to be proud of That's something to be proud of That's something to be proud of That's something to be proud of Now that something to be proud of |
