Almost Proud from Almost Proud by Del McCoury Band

I started life down at the bottom
And there were those who kept me there
I did things that I’m not proud of
To see if anybody cared
That’s the wrong kind of attention
I was young and dumb and loud
Now I’m quite and I’m older
Would you believe I’m almost proud

Almost proud, almost proud
Somehow I landed here I don’t know how
Almost proud, almost proud
I’m better when I’m not part of the crowd
When I think of where I came from and all I’ve been allowed
It makes me for a moment almost proud

Now I grow a litter garden
If I could keep away the deer
We would have us quite a harvester
It’s so peaceful living here
I planted her some roses
And it seems we’re good for now
There’s a cardinal at my feeder
And it makes me almost proud

Almost proud, almost proud
Somehow I landed here I don’t know how
Almost proud, almost proud
I’m better when I’m not part of the crowd
When I think of where I came from and all I’ve been allowed
It makes me for a moment almost proud
