[00:00:05] There's a story that my daddy tells religiously

[00:00:10] Like clockwork every time he sees an opening

[00:00:14] In a conversation about the way things used to be

[00:00:25] Well I'd just roll my eyes

[00:00:27] And make a bee-line for the door

[00:00:29] But I'd always wind up starry-eyed

[00:00:32] Cross-legged on the floor

[00:00:34] Hanging on to every word

[00:00:39] Man the things I heard

[00:00:44] It was harder times and longer days

[00:00:47] Five miles to school uphill both ways

[00:00:49] We were cane switch raised and dirt floor poor

[00:00:52] 'Course that was back before the war

[00:00:54] Yeah your uncle and I made quite a pair

[00:00:57] Flying F-15's through hostile air

[00:00:59] He went down but they missed me by a hair

[00:01:04] He'd always stop right there and say

[00:01:07] That's something to be proud of

[00:01:09] That's a life you can hang your hat on

[00:01:11] That's a chin held high as the tears fall down

[00:01:14] A gut sucked in a chest stuck out

[00:01:16] Like a small town flag a-flying

[00:01:19] Or a newborn baby crying

[00:01:21] In the arms of the woman that you love

[00:01:25] That's something to be proud of

[00:01:36] Son graduating college that was mama's dream

[00:01:41] But I was on my way to anywhere else when I turned 18

[00:01:46] 'Cuz when you gotta fast car you think you've got everything

[00:01:56] I learned quick those GTO's don't run on faith

[00:02:01] I ended up broken down in some town north of L A

[00:02:06] Working maximum hours for minimum wage

[00:02:16] Well I fell in love next thing I know

[00:02:18] The babies came the car got sold

[00:02:21] I sure do miss that old hot rod

[00:02:23] But you sure save gas in them foreign jobs

[00:02:26] Dad I wonder if I ever let you down

[00:02:28] If you're ashamed how I turned out

[00:02:31] Well he lowered his voice then he raised his brow

[00:02:35] Said let me tell you right now

[00:02:38] That's something to be proud of

[00:02:40] That's a life you can hang your hat on

[00:02:43] You don't need to make a million

[00:02:45] Just be thankful to be working

[00:02:48] If you're doing what you're able

[00:02:50] And putting food there on the table

[00:02:53] And providing for the family that you love

[00:02:57] That's something to be proud of

[00:03:03] And if all you ever really do is the best you can

[00:03:10] Well you did it man

[00:03:13] That's something to be proud of

[00:03:15] That's a life you can hang your hat on

[00:03:17] That's a chin held high as the tears fall down

[00:03:20] A gut sucked in a chest stuck out

[00:03:23] Like a small town flag a-flying

[00:03:25] Or a newborn baby crying

[00:03:27] In the arms of the woman that you love

[00:03:31] That's something to be proud of

[00:03:34] That's something to be proud of

[00:03:36] Yeah that's something to be proud of

[00:03:39] That's something to be proud of

[00:03:41] Now that's something to be proud of
