Lyrics I Take A Lot Of Pride In What I Am - Live At The Philadelphia Civic Center/1970 - Merle Haggard , The Strangers
Things
I
learned
in
a
hobo
jungle
Were
things
they
never
taught
me
in
a
classroom,
Like
where
to
find
a
handout
While
thumbin'
through
Chicago
in
the
afternoon.
Hey,
I'm
not
braggin'
or
complainin',
Just
talkin'
to
myself
man
to
man.
This
ole'
mental
fat
I'm
chewin'
didn't
take
alot
of
doin'.
But
I
take
alot
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
phone
books,
And
lookin'
for
my
daddy's
name
in
every
town.
And
I
meet
lots
of
friendly
people,
That
I
always
end
up
leavin'
on
the
lam.
Where
I've
been
or
where
I'm
goin'
Didn't
take
alot
of
knowin',
But
I
take
alot
of
pride
in
what
I
am.
I
never
travel
in
a
hurry,
'Cause
I
got
nobody
waitin'
for
me
anywhere.
Home
is
anywhere
I'm
livin',
If
it's
sleepin'
on
some
vacant
bench
in
City
Square,
Or
if
I'm
workin'
on
some
road
gang,
Or
just
livin'
off
the
fat
of
our
great
land.
I
never
been
nobody's
idol,
But
at
least
I
got
a
title,
And
I
take
alot
of
pride
in
what
I
am.
I
never
been
nobody's
idol,
But
at
least
I
got
a
title,
And
I
take
alot
of
pride
in
what
I
am.
I
take
alot
of
pride
in
what
I
am.
I
take
alot
of
pride
in
what
I
am...
