I take a lot 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 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
