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 |
