[00:06.63]There's a story that my daddy tells religiously
[00:11.52]Like clockwork every time he sees an opening
[00:15.90]In a conversation about the way things used to be
[00:22.08]Well I'd just roll my eyes and make a bee-line for the door
[00:31.29]But I'd always wind up starry-eyed, cross-legged on the floor
[00:35.88]Hanging on to every word
[00:40.08]Man, the things I heard
[00:46.08]It was harder times and longer days
[00:48.51]Five miles to school, uphill both ways
[00:50.97]We were cane switch raised, and dirt floor poor
[00:53.64]'Course that was back before the war
[00:55.74]Yeah, your uncle and I made quite a pair
[00:58.29]Flying F-15's through hostile air
[01:01.08]He went down but they missed me by a hair
[01:05.52]He'd always stop right there and say...
[01:08.16]That's something to be proud of
[01:10.59]That's a life you can hang your hat on
[01:13.14]That's a chin held high as the tears fall down
[01:15.78]A gut sucked in, a chest stuck out
[01:18.03]Like a small town flag a-flyin'
[01:20.67]Or a newborn baby cryin'
[01:22.14]In the arms of the woman that you love
[01:26.64]That's something to be proud of
[01:28.74]So I'm graduatin' college, that was mama's dream
[01:42.63]But I was on my way to anywhere else when I turned 18
[01:47.13]Cuz when you gotta fast car you think you've got everything
[01:57.78]I learned quick those GTO's don't run on faith
[02:02.88]I ended up broken down in some town north of L.A.
[02:07.32]Working maximum hours for minimum wage
[02:13.14]Well, I fell in love, next thing I know
[02:19.80]The babies came, the car got slow
[02:22.32]I sure do miss that old hot rod
[02:24.48]But you sure save gas in them foreign jobs
[02:26.97]Dad, I wonder if I ever let you down
[02:29.70]If you're ashamed how I turned out
[02:31.95]Well, he lowered his voice, then he raised his brow
[02:36.48]Said, lemme tell ya right now
[02:39.24]That's something to be proud of
[02:41.79]That's a life you can hang your hat on
[02:44.16]You don't need to make a million
[02:46.35]Just be thankful to be workin'
[02:49.20]If you're doing what you're able
[02:51.51]And putting food there on the table
[02:54.06]And providing for the family that you love
[02:57.72]That's something to be proud of
[02:59.07]And if all you ever really do is the best you can
[03:07.47]Well, you did it man
[03:13.71]That's something to be proud of
[03:16.20]That's a life you can hang your hat on
[03:18.78]That's a chin held high as the tears fall down
[03:21.36]A gut sucked in, a chest stuck out
[03:23.64]Like a small town flag a-flyin'
[03:26.31]Or a newborn baby cryin'
[03:27.72]In the arms of the woman that you love
[03:32.25]That's something to be proud of
[03:33.15]That's something to be proud of
[03:34.26]Yeah, that's something to be proud of
[03:39.69]That's something to be proud of
[03:41.73]Now that's something to be proud of
