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 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, I´m proud from 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 kwas born and raised down in the 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, I´m proud 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 am
I was born down in the boondocks, 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 down in the boondocks
In the boondocks
