Boondocks

I feel no shame

I'm proud from where I came

I was born and raised

In the boondocks, yeah

One thing I know

No matter where I go

Keep my heart and soul

Down in the boondocks, that's right

I can feel that muddy water

Running through my veins, yeah

I can hear that lullaby of a midnight train

And it sings to me, it sounds so familiar

I feel no shame

I'm proud from where I came

I was born and raised

In the boondocks, yeah

One thing I know

No matter where I may go

I was born and raised

Down in the boondocks

I can taste that honeysuckle

And it's still so sweet

Yes, so sweet, so sweet

When it grows wild on the banks down at old Camp Creek

And it calls to me like a warm wind blowing

I feel no shame

I'm proud from where I came

I was born and raised

In the boondocks, yeah

One thing I know

No matter where I might go

I keep my heart and soul

In the boondocks, now listen

It's where I learned about living

Where I learned about love

It's where I learned about working hard

And having little was just enough

It's where I learned about Jesus

Knowing where I stand

You can take it or leave it

This is me, this is who I am

I feel no shame

I'm proud from where I came

I was born and raised

Down in the boondocks, yeah

One thing I know

No matter where I go

Keep my heart and soul

In the boondocks

Give me a tin roof, front porch

And a gravel, a gravel road

And that's home to me, feel like home to me

You get a line, I get a pole

We'll go fishing in the crawfish hole

Five-card poker on a Saturday night

Church on Sunday morning, Amen

I was born and raised

Down in the boondocks

One thing I know

No matter where I go

Keep my heart and soul

In the boondocks

I feel no shame

I'm proud from where I came

I was born and raised

In the boondocks, yeah

One thing I know

No matter where I go

I keep my heart and soul

In the boondocks
