Intro: >Cadd Verse 1: 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.                             (strum no walk on base here) 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 lot of doin’ But I Take A Lot Of Pride In What I Am.               Verse 2: 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 ev’ry town. And I meet lots of friendly people that I always end up leavin’ on the lam. Hey where I’ve been or where I’m goin’ didn’t take a lot of knowin’ But I Take A Lot Of Pride In What I Am. Verse 3: 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 A Lot Of Pride In What I Am.
