Boondocks Lyrics - The Dreamer - Etta James

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 

Keep my heart and soul down in the boondocks, that's right 

And I can feel that muddy water 

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 out here, 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 was born and raised down in boondocks 

I can taste that honeysuckle 

And it's still so sweet, yeah, it's so sweet, so sweet 

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 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 came 

I was born down in the boondock, 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 in the boondocks 

In the boondocks
