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