《I Take A Lot Of Pride In What I Am》歌词

[00:00:00] I Take A Lot Of Pride In What I Am - Merle Haggard (梅尔·哈格德)

[00:00:08] Things I learned in a hobo jungle

[00:00:12] Were things they never taught me in a classroom

[00:00:19] Like where to find a handout

[00:00:22] While thumbin' through Chicago in the afternoon

[00:00:28] Hey I'm not braggin' or complainin'

[00:00:31] Just talkin' to myself man to man

[00:00:38] This ole' mental fat I'm chewin' didn't take alot of doin'

[00:00:42] But I take a lot of pride in what I am

[00:00:49] I guess I grew up a loner

[00:00:52] I don't remember ever havin' any folks around

[00:00:59] But I keep thumbin' through the phone books

[00:01:03] And lookin' for my daddy's name in every town

[00:01:09] And I meet lots of friendly people

[00:01:12] That I always end up leavin' on the lam

[00:01:18] Where I've been or where I'm goin'

[00:01:21] Didn't take alot of knowin'

[00:01:23] But I take a lot of pride in what I am

[00:01:29] I never travel in a hurry

[00:01:33] 'Cause I got nobody waitin' for me anywhere

[00:01:39] Home is anywhere I'm livin'

[00:01:43] If it's sleepin' on some vacant bench in City Square

[00:01:49] Or if I'm workin' on some road gang

[00:01:52] Or just livin' off the fat of our great land

[00:01:58] I never been nobody's idol But at least I got a title

[00:02:03] And I take a lot of pride in what I am

[00:02:09] I never been nobody's idol But at least I got a title

[00:02:14] And I take a lot of pride in what I am

[00:02:21] I take a lot of pride in what I am

[00:02:28] I take a lot of pride in what I am
