You grew up in a little town
Where your daddy worked hard
And your momma did too and
You was raised in a white house down a long dirt road
With a front porch view and
You took a chance, you moved away
Can't have big dreams in a small place
Wish I could see everybody's face
When you walk across that stage
I'm proud of you, honey
It's been a long road
You've been working hard girl, look at you go
Yeah, it's your time, keep moving on
Keep on going, keep proving 'em wrong
Look at how far you've come now
Look at all you've done now
I'm glad I've got a front row view
To see all your dreams come true
I'm proud of you
Yeah baby, I'm proud of you
Eh, eh, you would skip those late nights at the local bar
You was studying while everyone would party hard
You was saving up and working on yourself
While your friends were busy worrying about everybody else
You planned it, you dreamed it
You went out, you achieved it
You know I love to see it
Oh girl, I really mean it
I'm proud of you, honey
It's been a long road
You've been working hard girl, look at you go
Yeah, it's your time, keep moving on
Keep on going, keep proving 'em wrong
Look at how far you've come now
Look at all you've done now
I'm glad I've got a front row view
To see all your dreams come true
I'm proud of you
Yeah baby, I'm proud of you
Just know I always got you
Don't let nobody stop you
Keep going girl, you've got to (you've got to)
I'm proud of you, honey
It's been a long road
You've been working hard girl, look at you go
Yeah, it's your time, keep moving on
Keep on going, keep proving 'em wrong
Look at how far you've come now
Look at all you've done now
I'm glad I've got a front row view
To see all your dreams come true
I'm proud of you
Yeah baby, I'm proud of you
Yeah baby, I'm proud of you
