Proud

Lyrics

[Verse 1] There's a picture in my parents' house Of a boy playing guitar He could only play Oasis James Taylor was too hard He'd sing covers on the weekend Sell CD's from the bar And try to squeeze the speakers In the back of his first car [Pre-Chorus] He wanted it so bad, nothing he wouldn't do But I've come a long way since I was in his shoes [Chorus] If he could see where I'm standing now Would he be made up or say I let him down? 'Cause I tried my best, but the truth I guess It's not the way he planned it out I hope that I still made him proud [Verse 2] Hе won't know how to get there But hе'll never lose his faith But when you're taking chances Others slip away After all the years of waiting He'll finally get his break And stumble on a big song In a small room in LA [Pre-Chorus] 'Cause he wanted it so bad, nothing he wouldn't do But I've come a long way since I was in his shoes [Chorus] If he could see where I'm standing now Would he be made up or say I let him down? 'Cause I tried my best, but the truth I guess It's not the way he planned it out I hope that I still made him proud [Post-Chorus] Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh [Verse 3] There's a picture in my hallway Of me on my wedding day There used to hang a gold plaque But now it's been replaced One day, your definition Of happiness will change You'll find out a couple years from now It's not what you expect But you'll be proud
