I Take a Lot of Pride in What I Am Merle Haggard
Things I learned[Am] in hobo jungle
Were things they never [D7]taught me in a [G]class room
Like [Am]where to find a hand out
While bumming through [D7]Chicago in the [G]afternoon
Hey I'm not bragging or complaining
I'm just talking to myself man to [C]man
[Am]This ole mental fat I'm [D7]chewing didn't [Am]take a lotta [D7]doing
But I [Am]take a lot of [D7]pride in what I [G]am
I [Am]guess I grew up a loner
I don't remember ever having [D7]any folks [G]around
But I [Am]keep thumbing through the phone books
And looking for my daddy's [D7]name in every [G]town
And I meet lots of friendly people
That I always wind up leaving on the [C]lam
[Am]Hey where I've been or where I'm [D7]going didn't [Am]take a lotta [D7]knowing
But I [Am]take a lot of [D7]pride in what I [G]am
I [Am]never travel in a hurry
Because I got nobody [D7]waiting for me [G]anywhere
Home is [Am]anywhere I'm living
If it's sleeping on some vacant [D7]bench in City [G]Square
Or if I'm working on some road gang
Or just living off the fat of our great [C]land
[Am]I never been nobody's [D7]idol but at [Am]least I got a [D7]title
And I [Am]take a lot of [D7]pride in what I [G]am
[Am]I never been nobody's [D7]idol but at [Am]least I got a [D7]title
And I [Am]take a lot of [D7]pride in what I [G]am
