I Take A Lot Of Pride In What I Am

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 doinBut I take a lot of pride in what I am I guess I grew up a loner I don't remember ever havin' any folks around But I keep thumbin' through the phonebooks And looking 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 knowinBut I take a lot of pride in what I am
