(verse 1)
There's a [Cadd9]story that my d[C]addy tells rel[C7M]igiously[C],
Like c[Cadd9]lockwork everyt[C]ime he see's an o[C7M]pening,[C]
In a conve[F7Madd13]rsation, [-] [F7M] [-] [F7M/5]
Bout the way things use [Cadd9]to be[-] [C] [-] [C7M] [-] [C]
(verse 2)
[Cadd9] I just roll my e[C]yes and make a [C7M]B-line for the d[C]oor,
I'd[Cadd9] always end up [C]stary eyes and cross [C7M]legged on the fl[C]oor,
Hangin onto every w[F7Madd13]ord, [-] [F7M] [-] [F7M/5]
man the things I he[Cadd9]ard,[-] [C] [-] [C7M] [-] [C]
(pre-cho)
It was ha[G]rder times and longer days,
Five m[F]iles to school uphill both ways,
We were c[G]ane swtiched raised and dirt floor poor,
C[F]ourse that was back before the war,
Yea your u[G]ncle and I made quit a pair,
Flyin [F]F-15's through hostile air,
[C] He went down but they [G]missed me by a h[F]air,
He'd always stop right there and say,
(chorus)
That's s[C]omething to be proud of,
That's a l[F]ife you can hang your hat on,
as your ch[C]ins held high as the tears fall down,
[G]gut sucked in, chest stuck out,
Like a s[C]mall town flag a flyin,
Or a n[F]ew born baby cryin,
In the a[C]rms of the woman that you l[G]ove,
That's something to be proud o[C]f,[-] [F]
(verse 3)
Son graduatin college, that was momma's dream,
And I was on my way to anywhere else when I turned Eighteen,
that's when I got a fast car, and think you got everything,
(verse 4)
I learned real quick those GTO's don't run off faith,
I ended up broke down in some town north of L.A.
Working maximum hours, for minimum wage,
(pre-cho)
I f[G]ell in love next thing I know,
B[F]abies came and the car got sold,
S[G]ure do miss that old Hot Rod,
But you s[F]ure save gas in them foriegn jobs,
Dad I wo[G]nder if I ever let you down,
If y[F]ou're ashamed how I turned out,
Well he lo[C]wered his voice,[G] then he raised his [F]brow,
Said let me tell you right now,
(chorus)
That's s[C]omething to be proud of,
That's a l[F]ife you can hang your hat on,
No ne[C]ed to make a million just be tha[G]nkful to be workin,
If you're d[C]oin what you're able,
Puttin fo[F]od there on the table,
And pro[C]viding for the family that you lo[G]ve,
That's something to be p[F]roud of,
(bridge)
And be[F]fore you ever really do is the best you can,
[G] Well you did it man,
(chorus)
That's s[C]omething to be proud of,
That's a l[F]ife you can hang your hat on,
as your ch[C]ins held high as the tears fall down,
[G]gut sucked in, chest stuck out,
Like a s[C]mall town flag a flyin,
Or a n[F]ew born baby cryin,
In the a[C]rms of the woman that you l[G]ove,
That's something to be proud o[C]f,[-] [F]
That's something to be p[F]roud of,
That's something to be p[C]roud of,
That's something to be p[G]roud of,
