INTRO
Dm
Things I learned in a hobo jungle,
G C
Were things they never taught me in a classroom.
Dm
Like where to find a handout,
G C Em+ Am7 C/G
While bummin' through Chicago in the afternoon.
C7
Hey, I'm not braggin' nor complainin',
F Am+ Dm
Just talking to myself man to man.
G Dm G
This old mental fat I'm chewin' didn't take a lot of doin',
Dm G C Em+ Am7 C/G
I take a lot of pride in what I am.
Dm
I guess I grew up a loner,
G C Em+ Am7 C/G
I don't remember ever havin' any folks around.
Dm
I keep thumbin' through the phone books,
G C Em+ Am7 C/G
And lookin' for my Daddy's name in every town.
C7
I meet lots of friendly people,
F Am+ Dm
But I always end up leavin' on the lam.

Dm
Never travel in a hurry,
G C Em+ Am7 C/G
'Cause I got nobody waitin' for me anywhere.
Dm
Home is anywhere I'm livin',
G C Em+ Am7 C/G
If it's sleepin' on some vacant bench in City Square.
C7
Or if I'm workin' on some road gang,
F Am+ Dm
Or just livin' off the fat of our great land.
G Dm G
I never been nobodys idol, but at least I got a title,
Dm G C Em+ Am7 C/G
I take a lot of pride in what I am.
