Boondocks

(album: My Jesus (Live In Nashville) - 2021)

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
