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
