I feel no shame 
D 
I'm proud of where I came from 
      C        G                 D 
I was born and raised in the boondocks 
D 
One thing I know 
D 
No matter where I go 
          C         G               D 
I keep my heart and soul in the boondocks
[Strophe]
          Am 
And I can feel 
     C                              D 
That muddy water running through my veins 
          Am        C                     D 
And I can hear that lullaby of a midnight train 
   C                  G 
It sings to me and it sounds familiar

I keep my heart and soul in the boondocks
[Strophe]
And I can taste 
     C                             D 
That honeysuckle and it's still so sweet 
        Am 
When it grows wild 
C                             D 
On the banks down at old camp creek 
             C                  G 
Yeah, and it calls to me like a warm wind blowing

It's where I learned about working hard

And having a little was just enough 
G                          D 
It's where I learned about Jesus 
G                   D 
And knowing where I stand 
G                    D       C 
You can take it or leave it, this is me 
G            D 
This is who I am

[Strophe]
          Am 
Give me a tin roof 
  C                    D 
A front porch and a gravel road 
           C 
And that's home to me 
              G 
It feels like home to me
