I Take A Lot Of Pride In What I Am Lyrics - Jack Greene

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 

 

Now I'm not braggin' or complainin' 

I'm just talkin' to myself man to man 

This ol' mental fat I'm chewin' didn't take a lotta doin' 

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 phone books 

And looking for my daddy's name in every town 

 

And I meet lots of friendly people 

But I'll always line up leavin' on the lam 

Hey where I've been or where I'm goin' 

Didn't take a lotta knowin' 

 

But I take a lot of pride in what I am I never travel in a hurry 

'Cause I've got nobody waitin' for me anywhere 

Home is anywhere I'm livin' 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've never been nobody's idol but at least I got a title 

And I take a lot of pride in what I am 

 

I've never been nobody's idol but at least I got a title 

And I take a lot of pride in what I am 

I take a lot of pride in what I am
