I Take A Lot Of Pride In What I Am - Re-Recorded In Stereo

Things I learned in a hobo jungle
 Were things they never taught me in a classroom
 Like where to find a handout
 While bumpin' through Chicago in the afternoon
 Hey, I'm not braggin' or complainin'
 Just talkin' to myself man to man
 This whole metal fat I'm chewin' didn't take a lot of doin'
 But 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
 I keep thumbin' through the phone books
 And lookin' for my daddy's name in every town
 I made lots of friendly people
 But I always end up leavin' on the lam
 Aye, where I've been or where I'm goin' didn't take a lot of knowin'
 But I'll take a lot 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 being nobody's idol but at least I got a title
 I take a lot of pride in what I am
 I never being nobody's idol but at least I got a title
 And I take a lot of pride in what I am
 I take a lot of pride in what I am
 I take a lot of pride in what I am
