Too Much Pride

Too Much Pride is a song from "Have Gum, Will Travel."

Short lyrics
Scout: The Bible it will tell you

Pride comes before a fall

It's a humble heart

That in God's eyes is standin' tall

Backup group men: Standin' tall

Gilroy: Standin' tall

Backup group men: Ride far, ride wide

But there ain't no place for too much pride

Scout (spoken): There's no place for too much pride.

Long lyrics
Backup group men: The Prairie it is open and the prairie

It is wide

But there ain't no room anywhere

For a heart with too much pride

Too much pride ... Too much pride

Patterson: Now you may play a fiddle and bow

Hollister: You may rope and ride

Gilroy: But the only thing God cares about is

What's inside

Backup group men: You can't hide what's inside

Ride far, ride wide

But there ain't no place for too much pride

(Instrument break)

Scout: The Bible it will tell you

Pride comes before a fall

It's a humble heart

That in God's eyes is standin' tall

Backup group men: Standin' tall

Gilroy: Standin' tall

Backup group men: Ride far, ride wide

But there ain't no place for too much pride

Ride far, ride wide

But there ain't no place for too much pride

Scout (spoken): There's no place for too much pride.
