Lyrics:

(Karen Fairchild/Kimberly Roads/Phillip Sweet/Jimi Westbrook/Wayne Kirkpatrick)



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 an 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

(Say a little prayer for me)



(Repeat 4x)
