Verse 1
There's (C major)
a story that my daddy tells religiously
Like clockwork every time
he sees an opening
in a conversa (F major) tion (G major) about
(F major) the way things used (C major) to be
Well I'd just roll my eyes
and make a beeline for the door
But I'd always end up starry -eyed
cross -legged on the floor
Hanging (F major) on to every word
Man, the things I (C major) heard
It was (G major) harder times, longer days
Five (F major) miles of school, uphill both ways
We were (G major) cane switch raised,
dirt floor poured
Coursing, (F major) that was back
before the war
(C major) Yeah, (G major) your uncle and I made quite a pair
Flyin' (F major) M -15s through hostile air
He (C major) went down,
but they (G major) missed me by a (F major) hair
He'd always stop right there and say
That's (C major) something to be proud of
That's (F major) a life you can
hang your hat on
That's a (C major) chin held high as a tear falls down
A (G major) gut sucked in, a chest stuck out
Like a (C major) small town flag flying
Or a (F major) newborn baby crying
In the (C major) arms of the woman that you love
(G major) That's something to be proud (C major) of (F major)
A son (C major) graduate in college,
yeah that was momma's dream
But I was on my way to anywhere else
when I turned eighteen
Cause when you (F major) got a fast car,
you think you got everything (C major)
But I learned quick -nosed
GTOs don't run on faith
And I ended up broken down
in some town north of L .A.
Work (F major) in' maximum hours
for a minimum wage (C major)
I fell (G major) in love next thing I know
(F major) The babies came and the car got sold
I (G major) sure do miss that old hot ride,
but you (F major) sure save gas in
these foreign jobs
Dad, (G major) I wonder if I ever let you down,
(F major) or if you're ashamed
Oh, I turned out, (C major) he lowered his voice
(G major) and then he (F major) raised his brow
So let me tell you right now
That's (C major) something to be proud of
That's (F major) a life you can hang your hat on
You don't (C major) need to make a million
Just be (G major) thankful to be working
If (C major) you're what you're able
To put food (F major) there on the table
And (C major) provide it for the family that you love
(G major) That's something to be (F major) proud of
And if all you ever really do
is the best you can (G major)
Well, you did it, man
Cause that's (C major) something
to be proud of
That's a (F major) life you can hang your hat on
That's a (C major) chin held high
as a tear falls down
Gut (G major) s up (A minor) in, (G major) chest up out
Like a (C major) small town flag flyin'
Or a (F major) newborn baby cryin'
In the (C major) arms of a woman that you love
(G major) That's something to be proud (C major) of (F major)
That's something to be proud (C major) of (G major)
That's something to
be proud (C major) of (G major) (C major) (F major)
That's something to be proud (C major) of
