Yea your uncle and I made quit a pair,

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,

That's a life you can hang your hat on,
C
as your chins held high as the tears fall down,

gut sucked in, chest stuck out,

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,

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,

Like a small town flag a flyin,

In the arms of the woman that you love,
