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