I Take Alot Of Pride In What I Am

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Things I learned in a hobo jungle

Were things they never taught me in a class room

Like where to find a handout

While thumbing through Chicago in the afternoon

Hey I'm not bragging or complaining

I'm just talking to myself man to man

This old lentil fat I'm chewing

Didn't take alot of doing

But I take alot of pride in what I am

I guess I grew up a loner

Don't remember ever having any folks around

But I keep thumbing through the phonebooks

And looking for my Daddy's name in every town

And I meet lots of people

But I always end up leaving on the lam

Hey where I've been, where I'm going

I didn't take alot of knowing

But I take alot of pride in what I am

I never travel in a hurry

'Cause I got nobody waiting for me anywhere

Home is anywhere I'm living

If it's sleeping on some vacant beach or 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 have a title

And I take alot of pride in what I am

This old lentil fat I'm chewing

Didn't take alot of doing

I take alot of pride in what I am
