Etta James - Boondocks lyrics

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 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, I'm proud from 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 kwas born and raised down in the boondocks I can taste that honeys**le 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, I'm proud 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 am I was born down in the boondocks, 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 down in the boondocks In the boondocks
