Cadd9 C C7M C
There's a story that my daddy tells religiously,

F7Madd13 - F7M - F7M/5
In a conversation,

I just roll my eyes and make a B-line for the door,
Cadd9 C C7M C

Hangin onto every word,
Cadd9 - C - C7M - C

[Pre-Chorus]
G
It was harder times and longer days,
F
Five miles to school uphill both ways,
G
We were cane swtiched raised and dirt floor poor,
F
Course that was back before the war,
G
Yea your uncle and I made quit a pair,
F
Flyin F-15's through hostile air,
C G F
He went down but they missed me by a hair,

He'd always stop right there and say,

[Chorus]
C
That's something to be proud of,
F
That's a life you can hang your hat on,
C
as your chins held high as the tears fall down,
G
gut sucked in, chest stuck out,
C
Like a small town flag a flyin,
F
Or a new born baby cryin,
C G
In the arms of the woman that you love,
C - F
That's something to be proud of,

[Verse 3]
Son graduatin college, that was momma's dream,
And I was on my way to anywhere else when I turned Eighteen,
that's when I got a fast car, and think you got everything,

[Verse 4]
I learned real quick those GTO's don't run off faith,
I ended up broke down in some town north of L.A.
Working maximum hours, for minimum wage,

[Pre-Chorus]
G
I fell in love next thing I know,
F
Babies came and the car got sold,
G
Sure do miss that old Hot Rod,
F
But you sure save gas in them foriegn jobs,
G
Dad I wonder if I ever let you down,
F
If you're ashamed how I turned out,
C G F
Well he lowered his voice, then he raised his brow,

Said let me tell you right now,

[Chorus]
C
That's something to be proud of,
F
That's a life you can hang your hat on,
C G
No need to make a million just be thankful to be workin,
C
If you're doin what you're able,
F
Puttin food there on the table,
C G
And providing for the family that you love,
F
That's something to be proud of,

[Bridge]
F
And before you ever really do is the best you can,
G
Well you did it man,

[Chorus]
C
That's something to be proud of,
F
That's a life you can hang your hat on,
C
as your chins held high as the tears fall down,
G
gut sucked in, chest stuck out,
C
Like a small town flag a flyin,
F
Or a new born baby cryin,
C G
In the arms of the woman that you love,
C - F
That's something to be proud of,
