I Take A Lot Of Pride In What I Am Lyrics - Singles - Henson Cargill

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
