Boondocks

I feel no shame

I''m proud of where I came from

I was born and raised in the boondocks

One thing I know

No matter where I go

I keep my heart and soul in the boondocks

And I can feel

That muddy water running through my veins

And I can hear that lullaby of a midnight train

It sings to me and it sounds familiar

I feel no shame

I''m proud of where I came from

I was born and raised in the boondocks

One thing I know

No matter where I go

I keep my heart and soul in the boondocks

And I can taste

That honeysuckle and it''s still so sweet

When it grows wild

On the banks down at old camp creek

Yeah and it calls to me like a warm wind blowing

I feel no shame

I''m proud of where I came from

I was born and raised in the boondocks

One thing I know

No matter where I go

I keep my heart and soul in the boondocks

It''s where I learned about living

It''s where I learned about love

It''s where I learned about working hard

And having a little was just enough

It''s where I learned about Jesus

And knowing where I stand

You can take it or leave it this is me

This is who I am

Give me a tin roof

A front porch and a gravel road

And that''s home to me

It feels like home to me

I feel no shame

I''m proud of where I came from

I was born and raised in the boondocks

One thing I know

No matter where I go

I keep my heart and soul in the boondocks

I keep my heart and soul in the boondocks

You get a line I''ll get a pole

We''ll go fishing in the crawfish hole

Five-card poker on a Saturday night

Church on Sunday morning

You get a line I''ll get a pole

We''ll go fishing in the crawfish hole

Down in the boondocks

Five-card poker on a Saturday night

Church on Sunday morning

You get a line I''ll get a pole

We''ll go fishing in the crawfish hole

Down in the boondocks

Five-card poker on a Saturday night

Church on Sunday morning
