Boondocks Lyrics - American Idol

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 

And 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 

When it grows wild 

On the banks down at old camp creek 

Yeah, and 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 learned about living 

It's where I learned about love 

It's where I learned about working hard 

And having a little was just enough 

It's 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 

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 keep my heart and soul in the boondocks 

You get a line, I get a pole 

We'll go fishing in the crawfish hole 

Five card poker on Saturday night 

Church on Sunday morning 

You get a line, I get a pole 

(You get a line, I get a pole) 

We'll go fishing 

(We'll go fishing in the crawfish hole) 

Down in the boondocks 

(Five card poker on Saturday night) 

Church on Sunday morning 

You get a line, I get a pole 

(You get a line, I get a pole) 

We'll go fishing 

(We'll go fishing in the crawfish hole) 

Down in the boondocks 

(Five card poker on Saturday night) 

(Say a little prayer for me) 

Church on Sunday morning 

You get a line, I get a pole 

(You get a line, I get a pole) 

We'll go fishing 

(We'll go fishing in the crawfish hole) 

Down in the boondocks 

(Five card poker on Saturday night) 

(Say a little prayer for me) 

Church on Sunday morning
