Dean Martin - I Take a Lot of Pride in What I Am слова песни
(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...
