I feel no shame, I'm proud of where I came from:
I was born an' raised in the Boondocks
One thing I know, no matter where I go,
I keep my heart an' soul in the Boondocks

An' I can feel that,
Muddy water runnin' through my veins
An' I can hear that lullaby of the midnight train
An' it seems to me that it sounds familiar

I feel no shame, I'm proud of where I came from:
I was born an' raised in the Boondocks
One thing I know, no matter where I go,
I keep my heart an' soul in the Boondocks

I can taste that honeysuckle,
An' it's still so sweet,
When it grows wild on the banks of an' old camp creek
Yeah, an it calls to me like an warm wind blowin'

I feel no shame, I'm proud of where I came from:
I was born an' raised in the Boondocks
One thing I know, no matter where I go,
I keep my heart an' soul in the Boondocks

It's where I learned about livin'
It's where I learned about love
It's where I learned about workin' hard,
An' havin' a little is just enough
It's where I learned about Jesus,
An' knowin' where I stand
You can take it or leave it,
This is me: this is who I am

Instrumental Break

Give me a tin-roof,
A front porch an' a gravel road
An' that's home to me,
Feels like home to me

I feel no shame, I'm proud of where I came from:
I was born an' raised in the Boondocks
One thing I know, no matter where I go,
I keep my heart an' soul in the Boondocks
I keep my heart an' soul in the Boondocks

You get a line, I'll get a pole,
We'll go fishin' in the crawfish hole
Five-card poker on Saturday night,
Church on Sunday mornin'

You get a line, (You get a line)
I'll get a pole, (I'll get a pole)
We'll go fishin' (We'll go fishin' in the crawfish hole)
Down in the Boondocks, (Five-card poker on Saturday night,)
Church on Sunday mornin'

You get a line, (You get a line)
(You get a line an' I'll get a pole)
I'll get a pole, (I'll get a pole)
We'll go fishin' (We'll go fishin' in the crawfish hole)
Down in the Boondocks, (Five-card poker on Saturday night,)
(Say a little prayer for me)
Church on Sunday mornin'

You get a line, (You get a line)
