Proud Lyrics by James TW

Soundtrack

2024

[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
