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 It sings to me and it sounds familiar And I can taste That honeysuckle and it's still so sweet When it grows wild On the banks down at old camp creek It calls to me like a warm wind blowing It's where I learned about living Where I learned about love Where I learned about working hard And having a little was just enough Where I learned about Jesus And knowing where I stand You can take it or leave it, this is me This is who I am Give me a tin roof A front porch and a gravel road And that's home to me It feels like home to me
