I Take A Lot Of Pride In What I Am
by Merle Haggard
Am
Things I learned in hobo jungle
D7 G
Were things they never taught me in a class room
Am
Like where to find a hand out
D7 G
While bumming through Chicago in the afternoon
G7
Hey I'm not bragging or complaining
D7
I'm just talking to myself man to man
Am D7 Am D7
This ole mental fat I'm chewing didn't take a lotta doing
Am D7 G
But I take a lot of pride in what I am
I guess I grew up a loner
I don't remember ever havin' any folks around
But I keep thumbin' through the phonebooks
And looking for my daddy's name in every town
And I meet lots of friendly people
That I always wind up leaving 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
Because I got nobody waiting for me anywhere
Home is anywhere I'm living
If it's sleepin' on some vacant bench in City Square
Or if I'm workin' on some road gang
Or just livin' 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
I never been nobody's idol
But at least I got a title
I take a lot of pride in what I am
