TRACE ADKINS
"Proud To Be Here"
(Aaron Barker / Ira Dean / Chris Wallin)

If I were down to my last dollar
Sitting on an empty tank
I'd be a dollar richer than I was back-in-the-day
When I was playing for tips and compliments
And half my rent was always spent on beer

Had a thousand dollar stereo
In a two hundred dollar truck
A screwdriver and some cussing
Always made her start right up
But I tore it up one rainy night
Going 'round a curve when I hit second gear
And I'm just proud to be here

[Chorus:]
Yeah, I'm just proud to be on the right side of the dirt
I've been loved and I've been lost and I've been hurt
I leave the hard stuff up to God
Try not to worry about a whole lot
And I have no regrets for what it's worth
I've been living on borrowed time for years
And I'm just proud to be here

I'd like to thank my guardian angels
God must have sent His best
Heaven knows they worked their wings off
Keeping whiskey off my breath
When I think of all I would have missed
My wife and kids and all that I hold dear

[Chorus:]
Yeah, I'm just proud to be on the right side of the dirt
I've been loved and I've been lost and I've been hurt
I leave the hard stuff up to God
Try not to worry about a whole lot
And I have no regrets for what it's worth
I've been living on borrowed time for years
And I'm just proud to be here

Yeah, I'm just proud to be on the right side of the dirt
I've been loved and I've been lost and I've been hurt
I leave the hard stuff up to God
Try not to worry about a whole lot
And I have no regrets for what it's worth
I've been living on borrowed time for years
And I'm just proud to be here

[Outro:]
Yeah I'm just proud to be here
Hey I'm just proud to be here
