I Take A Lot Of Pride In What I Am lyrics

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 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` folks around

But I keep thumbin` through the phone books

And lookin` for my daddy`s name in every town

And I meet lots of friendly people but I`ll always wind 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 working on some road gang or just living off the fat of our great land

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

And I take a lot of pride in what I am

I take a lot of pride in what I am
