Corey Smith - Pride lyrics

I read P-R-I-D-E on the bulletin board first day of my soph*more year Eastpak on my shoulder, Nikes on my feet Draggin' slack I was bustin' in my baggy jeans I thought whatever and I rolled my eyes Went struttin' down the hall to give my boys high fives The friends I made back then are my real friends now I still see 'em when we go hang out in town Down the road from the halls we came of age in, now I get it Chorus: Pride was a capital letter on my baseball cap It's what held us together around this dot on the map Now it's the color that I bleed and the stitches in my shoes and my jacket match Pride I read P-R-I-D-E on the cheerleaders sign on the field on a Friday night I wudn't on the team, I wudn't in the band Just another 12th man up in the stands Flying off my feet when the home team scored Laughin' at the visitors pointin' at the scoreboard Sure I got carried away but I didn't mean harm Just a fan of where I was from The stadium lights shine bright on us all, win, lose, or draw Chorus: Pride was a capital letter on my baseball cap It's what held us together around this dot on the map Now it's the color I bleed and the stitches in my shoes and my jacket match, yeah Pride I was a country boy but I wudn't a redneck A solid B student on the college prep track I had ambition, plans of moving on But I graduated college then I came back home Because the trees grow strong when their roots run deep And this town's the only place I can soundly sleep P-R-I-D-E's in my heart and soul It's something I want my children to know So I keep believing, no plans on leaving Even if we have a losing season Chorus: Pride is a capital letter on my baseball cap It's what holds us together around this dot on the map Now it's the color that I bleed and the stitches in my stitches in my stitches in my stitches in my Pride is a capitol letter It's what holds us together It's the color I bleed and the stitches in my shoes and my jacket match Pride Pride Yeah we got Pride Yeah we got Pride
