"Are You Proud Of Me?" lyrics

I know you were scared when I dropped out
But I hope that you see how it was the right decision
A guy like me could never pass physics
Just give me a few years or so
And I'll be playing these sold out shows at the Ryman, Fillmore, you list it
Maybe even the Orpheum in Memphis
But even if I didn't

Are you proud of me?
But not for the things I do or things I've done
When it's all said and done
Are you proud of who I've become?
Even if I'm not the person you always hoped that I would be
Are you proud of me?

When I first moved to northwest Tennessee
They put me on a big ol' stage to sing for the whole congregation
And Jesus himself was listening
A few years passed and it all felt weird
The faith that I had started to disappear
And I don't go to church anymore
'Cause I'm still learning what I believe and stand for
So I'm asking the lord

Are you proud of me?
But not for the things I do or things I've done
When it's all said and done
Are you proud of who I've become?
Even if I'm not the person you always hoped that I would be
Are you proud of me?

Rain spilling out on the pavement
Would you still love me if I don't make it?
And even if I'm not the person you always hoped that I would be
Are you proud of me?
Are you proud of me?
