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 |
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 came |
I was born and raised in the boondocks, yeah, yeah, yeah |
One thing I know, no matter where I may go |
I 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 came |
I 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 am |
Feel no shame I’m proud from where I came |
I was born down in the boondock, yeah |
One thing I know, no matter where I go |
Got 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 go |
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 |
In the boondocks |
