Boondocks Songtext
von Anne Wilson

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
