Pride Lyrics - While The Gettin' Is Good - Corey Smith

I read P-R-I-D-E on the bulletin board, first day of my Sophomore year 

Eastpak on my shoulder, Nikes on my feet 

Dragging slack, I was busting in my baggy jeans 

I thought "Psh, whatever" and I rolled my eyes 

Went strutting down the hall to give my boys high-fives 

The friends I made back then, are my real friends now 

I still see 'em when we go hang out 

In town, down the road from the halls we came of aging 

Now I get it

Pride, was a capital letter on my baseball cap 

It's what held us together around this dot on the map 

Now its the color I bleed and the stitches in my shoes and my jacket 

Match it, pride 

I read P-R-I-D-E on the cheerleader sign on the field on a Friday night 

I wasn't on the team, I wasn't in the band 

Just another twelfth man up in the stands 

Flying off my feet when the hometeam scored 

Laughing at the visitors, pointing at the scoreboard 

Sure, I got carried away, but I didn't mean harm 

Just a fan of where I was from 

The stadium lights shine bright on us all 

Win, or lose, or draw 

Pride, was a capital letter on my baseball cap 

It's what held us together around this dot on the map 

Now its the color I bleed and the stitches in my shoes and my jacket 

Match it, pride

I was a country boy, but I wasn't a redneck 

A solid "B" student on my college prep trek 

I had ambition, plans of moving on 

But I graduated college then I came back home 

Because the trees grow strong when their roots run deep 

And this town is the only place I can sound asleep 

P-R-I-D-E is in my heart and soul 

It's something I want my children to know 

So I keep believing, no plans on leaving 

Even if we have a losing season 

Pride, was a capital letter on my baseball cap 

It's what held us together around this dot on the map 

Now its the color I bleed and the stitches and my stitches, 

and my stitches, and my stitches, and my stitches 

Pride, was a capital letter on my baseball cap 

It's what held us together around this dot on the map 

Now its the color I bleed and the stitches in my shoes and my jacket 

Match it, pride 

Pride, pride, pride 

Yeah, I got pride
