Boondocks
(Karen Fairchild, Jimi Westbrook, Kimberly Roads, Phillip Sweet, Wayne Kirkpatrick)

Chorus:
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

I can feel that
Muddy water runnin' through my veins
I can hear that
Lullabye of the midnight train
And it sings to me and it sounds familiar

Chorus

I can taste that honeysuckle
And it's still so sweet
When it grows wild
On the banks down at old Camp Creek
And it calls to me like a warm wind blowin'

Chorus

It's where I learned about livin'
It's where I learned about love
It's where I learned about workin' hard
And havin' a little was just enough

It's where I learned about Jesus
And knowin' where I stand
You can take it or leave it
This is me
This is who I am

Give me tin roof a front porch and a gravel road
And that's home to me, feels like home to me

Chorus

I keep my heart and 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 morning

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

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

(Repeat 4X)
