Proud to Be Standing Where I Am

C
Did I work to get here, Lord? Climb, climb, climb.
                                 G
Spend what I could least afford, time, time, time.
C                              F
Worked all day, worried nights, paid the prices for the fights.
C                           G           C
Every goal I had decided is mine, mine, mine.


        G                            C
And I'm proud to be standing where I am.
        G                        C
Say out loud, I'm a lucky, lucky man.
                                      F              Dm
Yes, I know where I come from, hope I know where I'm bound,
      G                            C
And I know, I've done everything I can.

Still my time is coming in, my, my, my.
'Fraid it's all downhill from here, bye, bye, bye.
Feel my back begin to ache, feel my hands begin to shake,
Start that trip we all must take and fly, fly, fly.

But I'm proud to be standing where I am.
Say out loud, I'm a lucky, lucky man.
Yes, I know where I come from, hope I know where I'm bound,
And I know, I've done everything I can.

And I'm proud to be standing where I am - yes I am.
Say out loud, I'm a lucky, lucky man.
Yes, I know where I come from, hope I know where I'm bound,
And I know, I've done everything I can.

(Words and music by Tom Paxton, 1976)
