英文歌词：
SOMETHING TO BE PROUD OF
Montgomery Gentry
There's a story that my daddy tells religiously
Like clockwork every time he sees an opening
In a conversation about the way things used to be
Well I'd just roll my eyes and make a bee-line for the door
But I'd always wind up starry-eyed cross-legged on the floor
Hanging on to every word
Man the things I heard
It was harder times and longer days
Five miles to school uphill both ways
We were cane switch raised and dirt floor poor
'Course that was back before the war
Yeah your uncle and I made quite a pair
Flying F-15's through hostile air
He went down but they missed me by a hair
He'd always stop right there and say
That's something to be proud of
That's a life you can hang your hat on
That's a chin held high as the tears fall down
A gut sucked in a chest stuck out
Like a small town flag a-flyin'
Or a newborn baby cryin'
In the arms of the woman that you love
That's something to be proud of
So I'm graduatin' college that was mama's dream
But I was on my way to anywhere else when I turned 18
Cuz when you gotta fast car you think you've got everything
I learned quick those GTO's don't run on faith
I ended up broken down in some town north of L.A.
Working maximum hours for minimum wage
Well I fell in love next thing I know
The babies came the car got slow
I sure do miss that old hot rod
But you sure save gas in them foreign jobs
Dad I wonder if I ever let you down
If you're ashamed how I turned out
Well he lowered his voice then he raised his brow
Said lem me tell ya right now
That's something to be proud of
That's a life you can hang your hat on
You don't need to make a million
Just be thankful to be workin'
If you're doing what you're able
And putting food there on the table
And providing for the family that you love
That's something to be proud of
And if all you ever really do is the best you can
Well you did it man
That's something to be proud of
That's a life you can hang your hat on
That's a chin held high as the tears fall down
A gut sucked in a chest stuck out
Like a small town flag a-flyin'
Or a newborn baby cryin'
In the arms of the woman that you love
That's something to be proud of
中文歌词：
有些事让你骄傲
老爸常提起一个故事
每每提起 他都以同样的方式开局
带着他那老生常谈的方式
我总是翻着眼睛 设法逃脱
可最终拾起胡思乱想 盘腿坐下
凝神听进他的每句话
伙计 我所听到的
是一段艰难而漫长的岁月
那时 家离学校有五英里山路
我们都瘦骨嶙峋 一贫如洗
因为 那是战火前夕
你叔叔和我是搭档
在领空驾着 F15 飞行
他被击落而我险险躲过
这时 他总会停顿一下并缓缓道出
总有些事让你值得骄傲
总有种生活让你驻足停留
要志气凛然 哪怕泪洒黄泉
深深呼吸 沉着应对
就像一面小城的旗帜在飘扬
又像一个新生的婴儿在啼哭
拥在你钟爱女人的怀抱
那些事值得让你骄傲
我从大学毕业 完成了妈妈的梦想
十八岁时 我走上自己的路未辨方向
因为当你有了辆好车 你就以为自己有了一切
我很快领教了 GTO的飞速和耗油超速
我留在了洛山矶北边的一个小城
拼命工作却只能糊口
然后 我恋爱了 再后来
有孩子后 车开得越来越慢
虽然怀念那辆改装的大马力车
可惜你不得不省点汽油干点别的
爸爸 我想知道我是不是让你失望
是否你为今天的我而羞愧
他压低嗓音 抬起眉
说道 让我现在就告诉你
那些事值得骄傲
总有种生活让你驻足停留
你无需挣到百万美金
只需感谢你还有工作
如果你做着力所能及的工作
能有食物摆上你的餐桌
并可以负担你所热爱的家
那些事足以让你骄傲
如果你尽了自己努力
那么 你已经做到了
那些事让你骄傲
总有种生活让你驻足停留
要志气凛然 哪怕泪洒黄泉
深深呼吸 沉着应对
就像一面小城的旗帜在飘扬
又像一个新生的婴儿在啼哭
拥在你钟爱女人的怀抱
那些事值得让你骄傲
