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 Well, 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 Well, it grows wild On the banks down at old camp creek 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’ve learned about living Where I’ve learned about love Where I’ve learned about working hard And having a little is just enough Where I’ve learned about Jesus And knowing where I stand And you can take it or leave it, but this is me This is who I am
Give me a tin roof A front porch and a gravel road Well, 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 Yeah, 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
