Verse 2
Well, (Csus2) I'd just roll my (C major) eyes
and make a bee (G major) line for (C major) the door
But I'd (Csus2) always end up (C major) starry-eyed
cross- (G major) legged on the (C major) floor
Hanging on to (F major) every word (F major) (G/F) (F major)
Man, the things I (Csus2) heard (C major) (G major) (C major)
Pre-chorus 1
It was (G major) harder times and longer days
Five (Fadd9) miles to school, uphill both ways
We were (G major) cane-switched raised
and dirt-floor poor
(Fadd9) 'Course that was back before the war
Yeah, your (G major) uncle and I made quite a pair
Flying (Fadd9) F-15's through hostile air
(C major) He went down but they (G major) missed me by a hair (F major)
He'd always stop right there and say
Chorus 1
That's (C major) something to be proud of
That's a (F minoraj9) life you can hang your hat on
That's a (C major) chin held high as the tears fall down
A (G major) gut sucked in, a chest stuck out
Like a (C major) small-town flag a-flyin'
Or a (F minoraj9) newborn baby cryin'
In the (C major) arms of the woman that you (G major) love
That's something to be proud (C major) of (G/C) (C major)
(F minoraj9)
Verse 3
Son (C major) graduatin' college,
that was mama's dream
But I was (C major) on my way to anywhere else
when I turned 18
'Cause when you gotta (Fadd9) fast car
you think you've got
everything (C major)
Verse 4
(C major) I learned quick those GTO's
don't run on faith
I (C major) ended up broken down
in some town north of L.A.
Working (Fadd9) maximum hours
for minimum (C major) wage
Pre-chorus 2
Well, I (G major) fell in love, next thing I know
The (Fadd9) babies came, the car got sold
I (G major) sure do miss that old hot rod
But you sure (Fadd9) save gas in them foreign jobs
Dad, I (G major) wonder if I ever let you down
If (Fadd9) you're ashamed of how I turned out
Well, he (C major) lowered his voice,
(G major) then he raised his brow (F major)
Said, let me tell ya right now
Chorus 2
That's (C major) something to be proud of
That's a (F minoraj9) life you can hang your hat on
You don't (C major) need to make a million
Just be (G major) thankful to be workin'
If you're (C major) doing what you're able
And putting (F minoraj9) food there on the table
And pro (C major) viding for the family that you (G major) love
That's something to be proud (F minoraj9) of
Bridge 1
And if (Fadd9) all you ever really do
is the best you can
(G major) Well, you did it man
Chorus 3
That's (C major) something to be proud of
That's a (F minoraj9) life you can hang your hat on
That's a (C major) chin held high as the tears fall down
A (G major) gut sucked (F/A) in, a (G/B) chest stuck (G/D) out
Like a (C major) small-town flag a-flyin'
Or a (F minoraj9) newborn baby cryin'
In the (C major) arms of the woman that you (G major) love
That's something to be proud (C major) of
That's something to be proud... (Fadd9)
Yeah, that's something to be proud (C major) of
That's something to be proud (G major) of
Outro 1
