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.
