James, Etta - Boondocks Lyrics
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
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
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
