Lyric I Take Alot Of Pride In What I Am

Things I learned in a hobo jungle
Were things they never taught me in a class room
Like where to find a handout
While thumbing through Chicago in the afternoon

Hey I m not bragging or complaining
I m just talking to myself man to man
This old lentil fat I m chewing
Didn t take alot of doing
But I take alot of pride in what I am

I guess I grew up a loner
Don t remember ever having any folks around
But I keep thumbing through the phonebooks
And looking for my Daddy s name in every town

And I meet lots of people
But I always end up leaving on the lam
Hey where I ve been, where I m going
I didn t take alot of knowing
But I take alot of pride in what I am

I never travel in a hurry
Cause I got nobody waiting for me anywhere
Home is anywhere I m living
If it s sleeping on some vacant beach or city square
Or if I m working on some road gang
Or just living off the fat of our great land
I never been nobody s idol but at least I have a title
And I take alot of pride in what I am

This old lentil fat I m chewing
Didn t take alot of doing
I take alot of pride in what I am
