(verse 1)
          Cadd9          C             Cm7     C
There's a story that my daddy tells religiously,
      Cadd9          C                Cm7     C
Like clockwork everytime he see's an opening,
          F7Madd13 - F7M - F7M/5
In a conversation, 
                        Cadd9 - C - Cm7  - C
Bout the way things use to be




(verse 2)
Cadd9            C              Cm7             C
 I just roll my eyes and make a B-line for the door,
   Cadd9          C                    Cm7             C
I'd always end up stary eyes and cross legged on the floor,
                   F7Madd13 - F7M - F7M/5
Hangin onto every word, 
                   Cadd9 - C - Cm7  - C
man the things I heard,




(pre-cho)
         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-cho)
   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,
                        F
That's something to be proud of,
                        C
That's something to be proud of,
                        G
That's something to be proud of,
                          Cadd9 - C - C7M  - C - F7Madd13 - F7M - F7M/5
Now that's something to be proud of,
