Lyrics

I feel no shame,
I'm proud from where
I cameI was born and raised in the boondocks, yeah
One thing
I know, no matter where
I goKeep my heart and soul down in the boondocks, that's right
And I can feel that muddy water
Running through my vein, yeah
I can hear that lullaby of a midnight train
And it sings to me and sounds so familiar, whoa
I feel no shame out here, where
I cameI was born and raised in the boondocks, yeah, yeah, yeah
One thing
I know, no matter where
I may goI was born and raised down in boondocks
I can taste that honeysuckle
And it's still so sweet, yeah, it's 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 from where
I cameI was born and raised in the boondocks, yeah, yeah, yeah
One thing
I know, no matter where
I might go
I have my heart and soul in the boondocks
Now listen
It's where
I learned about living, whoa yeah
Where I learned about love, alright
It's where
I learned about working hard, uh huh
And having a little was just enough
It's where
I learned about
Jesus, oh yeah
And knowing where
I stand, uh huh
You can take it or leave it
This is me, this is who
I amFeel no shame
I'm proud from where
I cameI was born down in the boondock, yeah
One thing
I know, no matter where
I goGot my heart and soul in the boondocks
Give me a tin roof
A front porch and a gravel, a gravel road
And that's home to me
Feels like home to me, yeah, now
You get a line,
I'll get a pole, yeah
We'll go fishing in the craw fish hole
Five-card poker on a
Saturday night
Church on
Sunday morning, yeah, yeah
I was born and raised
Down in the boondocks
One thing
I know, no matter where
I may goMy heart and soul in the boondocks
I feel no shame,
I'm proud from where
I cameI was born and raised in the boondocks, yeah
One thing
I know, no matter where
I goI keep my heart and soul in the boondocks
In the boondocks
