I Take A Lot Of Pride In What I Am
Album: Tribute to Merle Haggard
Things I learned in a hobo jungle
Were things they never taught me in a classroom,
Like where to find a handout
While thumbin' through Chicago in the afternoon.
Hey, I'm not braggin' or complainin',
Just talkin' to myself man to man.
This ole' mental fat I'm chewin' didn't take alot of doin'.
But I take alot of pride in what I am.
I guess I grew up a loner,
I don't remember ever havin' any folks around.
But I keep thumbin' through the phone books,
And lookin' for my daddy's name in every town.
And I meet lots of friendly people,
That I always end up leavin' on the lam.
Where I've been or where I'm goin'
Didn't take alot of knowin',
But I take alot of pride in what I am.
--- Instrumental ---
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 been nobody's idol, But at least I got a title,
And I take alot of pride in what I am.
I never been nobody's idol, But at least I got a title,
And I take alot of pride in what I am.
I take alot of pride in what I am.
I take alot of pride in what I am...

Santa Looked A Lot Like Daddy
(Buck Owens & Don Rich)
Well, Santa looked a lot like daddy
Or daddy looked alot like him
It's not the way I had him pictured
Santa was a much too thin
He didn't come down the chimney
So momma musta let him in
Yeah, Santa looked a lot like daddy
Or daddy looked alot like him.
Well they thought I was a sleepin'
They thought I was tucked in bed
They never thought that I'd come a peepin'
Or that I'd hear what was said
Santa put his arm around momma
And momma put her arm around him
So if Santa Claus ain't daddy
Then I'm a gonna tell on them.
Well, Santa looked a lot like daddy
Or daddy looked alot like him
It's not the way I had him pictured
Santa was a much too thin
He didn't come down the chimney
So momma musta let him in
Well, Santa looked a lot like daddy
Or daddy looked alot like him.
I never saw Dancer or Prancer
I never heard the sleigh bells ring
I never saw the red nosed reindeer
Like they show on the TV screen
But he sure bought alot of presents
So Santa Claus he must have been
Well, he sure looked a lot like daddy
And daddy looked alot like him.
Well, Santa looked a lot like daddy
Or daddy looked alot like him
It's not the way I had him pictured
Santa was a much too thin
He didn't come down the chimney
So momma musta let him in
Well, Santa looked a lot like daddy
Or daddy looked alot like him.
Santa looked a lot like daddy
Or daddy looked alot like
Daddy looked alot like him...

So Thanks Alot Dad
Hey Dad look at me now,
Look at how i've grown.
Opps I forgot your not around,
I guess thats why i'm always feeling down.
So thanks alot dad.
I can't believe you left mom and i,
I wonder when you left if momm ever cried.
So thanks alot dad.
Momma said you were always alot of fun,
Dad, would you have stayed if momma had a son?
So basicly I hate you dad
The only thing you left me with was a stupid yellow rabbit.
So thanks alot dad,
I hope i can see you again,
So I can slap you in the face,
So you'll know that twelve years with out you,
Felt like a turtle race.
So thanks alot dad.

Big Town
I discovered a big town
On the crest of a wave
Throwing money at strangers
Taking candy from babes
Shaking hands in a big top
As the rain came down
I though it would not stop
Sending letters to paris
From the empire state
Taking pictures from the top
Theres alot of things
For you to do
Theres alot of dreams
That wont come true
I grew up in a big town
The lessons were not hard to learn
If you want them to love you
Then you must not love them in return
Spent the night at a party
Where I drank so much
I fell under your spell
Eight oclock in the morning
And the daylight makes me
Look and feel like hell
Theres alot of things
For you to do
Theres alot of dreams
That wont come true
Theres alot of things
For you to do
Theres alot of dreams
That wont come true
When you live in a big town
There are sights and sounds
That make you want to cry
When you live in a big town
There are sights and sounds
That make you want to cry
When you live in a big town
There are sights and sounds
That make you want to cry
When you live in a big town
There are sights and sounds
That make you want to cry

You Are The Cause
My heart,
is now on the right side,
Coz you change me alot,
Coz you change me alot.
My brain,
is now crashed in the midst,
You really change me lot,
Coz you change me alot.
I am now confused,
I'm frustrated.
I need you now here,
Come and love me.
Coz all I need is you

What you took from me
took my trust,
my heart,
and my innocents,
act like you took nothing,
you took alot more,
i hide from reality,
i don't feel safe,
i don't feel emotions,
when they become so much,
i learned to hide from them,
plus hate my body,
must i go on?
the pain i feel is alot deeper,
but you didn't care,
you just didn't want to get caught,
it came close until i backed down,
i mad for that,
but you can't change the past,
just a shame that i remember bits and pieces,
no wonder why my childhood was blank,
you took most of it,
all i can remember is why i am ashamed of my body,
it now understandable.

Money talk's,
Money talk's,
Money talk's,
You know it say's it all,
You got it in your mind,
That money hast to say alot about human term's,
Every word that is explained here told me,
That money hast talked in society,
The honey of Humanity,
In the status of money,
If your'e indigent,
Many men will neglect all that you have,
Even humiliate you,
Only because they have money,
They mistreat others,
Money hast talked alot about what people do everyday,
Money is root of all not good,
Even most virus is from money,
Getting drunk talk's all about money,
Forever and ever men really love money,
We need money,
But some are very greedy for money,
Money talk's alot about fables and false spirit's.

This is stupid,
This is stupid,
Stupid is anything that conspires agains't man's beauty,
I see stupid in anything called folly and illiterally ignorant behaviours,
My attitude is so not hot,
Either way my insanity is my negation and greed for respect and glory,
Man can talk alot of stupid things,
Even when educated,
Emotions take us to greed and hatred,
Impatience,
Blasphemies,
Changing patterns worser like Hatred,
Talk all bad,
And never mute our senses,
This is stupid how Iam,
Not to realise that Iam fallible like any man,
That I have alot of instincts to give a message to mankind,
Equality and surely you will be called blessed,
Behaviours and attitude's talk alot about us.

Talkin To One Of The Boys
Everyone says connection is easy
I look at my score, experience none
Tossed a coin when I was seventeen
I got the ice, you got the cream
All that you see is stanger than fiction
All that you do defies all description
And you worry about your lack of existence
Then by all means go crazy
Talkin to one of the boys
Talkin to one of the boys
Makin alot of noise
Talkin to one of the boys
Talkin to one of the boys
Makin alot of noise
Talkin to one of the boys
One of the boys told me what was,
Going on last night
One of the boys said if I tried it,
Everythin would be alright.
Talked to doctor scromaxy, mail order messiah
His black book is gospel, his scripture unclean
With mass consultation, a blind congregation
His chapter, his verse, and his profit ocscene
Correspondence, the back of a sin rag
If this is deliverence, life is a drag
Searchin salvation, your sightlines get hazy
You got it right,go crazy.
Talkin to one of the boys
Talkin to one of the boys
Makin alot of noise
Talkin to one of the boys
Talkin to one of the boys
Makin alot of noise
Talkin to one of the boys
One of the boys told me what was,
Going on last night
One of the boys said if I tried it,
Everythin would be alright.
Or maybe youll go crazy.

Brother And Sister
When I was young
I would scream blue murder
Till I had my own way
Run from the family
And tell of a story to spite my elders
Round and round, the boy
In the garden of lies and science fiction
Brother and sister and father of mine
Keep us together and keep us in line
Alot we depend on alot we can do
Send love to mother I'll be good to you
To pollute the mind of a minor
The only escape from the rigours of life
Pretend we're a family and believe
In the virtues of truth
Round and round, caught up
In a garden of lies and deception
Brother and sister and father of mine
Keep us together and keep us in line
Alot we depend on alot we can do
Send love to mother I'll be good to you
Round and round and round and round

My Imagination
My imagination
as it causes my survation
but it doesnt help me me in multiplication
not even a single job application
it lets me see the future
as i live on mother nature
imagination gives me alot of leisure
as i go out and find a treasure
i dream big
as if i play football in huge league
but it makes me eat like a pig
then it makes me wear a wig
i see everyone achieve alot
while some remain like a goat
they later blame people while its their fault
without nothing they sit and rot

What A True Friend All About
aug,14,2010
everytimed i cried,
you were right by my side,
when people turned away,
you never did,
when i wanted to die,
you asked me why?
when i thought people stopped caring,
you always lend a hug,
through thick and thin,
you remained true to me,
it means alot,
that you cared alot,
when i felt alone,
you were my company,
and until this day,
you reminded me to pass on the love,
and what a true friend is all about,
when life became difficult.

Times Gettin Tougher Than Tough
A well moneys gettin cheaper
Price is gettin steeper
I found a little woman
But I just couldnt keep her
Times gettin tougher than tough
Times gettin rougher than rough
Well I make alot of money
I just keep spendin the stuff
Oh well pork chops on the market
Ask the butcher for a pound
I couldnt get no pork chop
When I laid my money down
Times gettin tougher than tough
Times gettin rougher than rough
Well I make alot of money
I just keep spendin the stuff
(instrumental)
Oh well the politicans say
Get the people on their feet
They wanna cut the price
And let the people eat
Times gettin tougher than tough
The times gettin rougher than rough
But I make alot of money
Just keep spendin the stuff
Well I cant afford to live
I guess Ill have to try
Undertakers got a union
And it cost too much to die
Times gettin tougher than tough
Well times gettin rougher than rough
Well I make alot of money
Just keep spendin the stuff

Signed, Sealed, Delivered I'm Yours
Like a fool I went and stayed too long
Now I'm wondering if your love's still strong
Oo baby, here I am, signed, sealed delivered, I'm yours
Then that time I went and said goodbye
Now I'm back and not ashamed to cry
Oo baby, here I am, signed, sealed delivered, I'm yours
Here I am baby
Oh, you've got the future in your hand
(signed, sealed delivered, I'm yours)
Here I am baby,
Oh, you've got the future in your hand
(signed, sealed, delivered, I'm yours)
I've done alot of foolish things
That I really didn't mean
Hey, hey, yea, yea, didn't i, oh baby
Seen alot of things in this old world
When I touched them they did nothing, girl
Oo baby, here I am, signed, sealed delivered, I'm yours, oh I'm yours
Oo-wee babe you set my soul on fire
That's why I know you are my only desire
Oo baby, here I am, signed, sealed delivered, I'm yours
Here I am baby
Oh, you've got the future in your hand
(signed, sealed delivered, I'm yours)
Here I am baby,
Oh, you've got the future in your hand
(signed, sealed, delivered, I'm yours)
I've done alot of foolish things
That I really didn't mean
I could be a broken man but here I am
With your future, got your future babe (here I am baby)
Here I am baby (signed, sealed delivered, I'm yours)
Here I am baby, (here I am baby)
Here I am baby (signed, sealed delivered, I'm yours)
Here I am baby, (here I am baby)
Here I am baby (signed, sealed delivered, I'm yours)

To whom it concerns
To whom it concerns
I yelled at my teacher
but who cares he airn't no precher
To whom it concerns
my homework is going to be late
I will jst say it fell on my panckes and stuck to the plate
To whom it concerns
I faled my test
no one cares
that i did my best
To whom it concerns
I see alot
no one cares about the fight that we fought
To whom it concerns
I see alot of pain
but don't worry
this is just the begining of the lain.
Star's
Look up above see the star's.
You think of me.
Take your time.
So when i die you'll remember me.
Just by looking at the star's
Love me alot and alot.
One more time look at the star's
just for me.
Look at the star's.
