(Chorus):  
  
D  
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  
  
(Verse)  
  
          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  
  
(Repeat Chorus)  
  
          Am  
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  
  
(Repeat Chorus)  
  
(Bridge)  
  
G                          D  
It's where I learned about living  
G                          D  
It's where I learned about love  
G                          D   
It's where I learned about working hard  
    C                   G   
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  
  
(Solo)    D - D - C - G - D  
  
          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  
  
(Repeat Chorus)  
  
          C         G               D  
I keep my heart and soul in the boondocks  
  
  
** NC (1st time around) **  
  
You get a line, I'll get a pole  
We'll go fishing in the crawfish hole  
Five-card poker on a Saturday night  
Church on Sunday morning  
  
** 2nd time has light single strums, 3rd time play these chords **  
  
D  
You get a line, I'll get a pole  
C                       G  
We'll go fishing in the crawfish hole  
(Down in the boondocks)  
  
D  
Five-card poker on a Saturday night  
C         G      D     
Church on Sunday morning
