[Esus4][Em]

[Verse 1]
[Em]I feel no shame,
I'm proud from where I came
[A]I was [D]born and [A]raised in
[Em]the boondocks, yeah
One thing I know, no matter where I go
Keep my [D]heart and [A]soul down in
[Em]the boondocks, that's right
And I can [Bm]feel that [D]muddy water
Running through my [E]vein, [Em]yeah[Bm]
I can hear that lul[D]laby of a
midnight [Em]train
And it sings to me and sounds [D]so familiar,
[A]whoa
[E]I feel no s[Em]hame out here, where I came
I was [D]born and [A]raised in [Em]the boondocks,
yeah, yeah, yeah
One thing I [A]know,
no [Em]matter where I may go
[A]I was [D]born and [A]raised down
[Em]in b[D]oondocks
I can [Bm]taste that [D]honeysuckle
And it's still so [Em]sweet, [E]yeah,
[Em]it's so sweet, so [Bm]sweet
When it grows wild [D]on the banks
down at old camp [E]creek
And [Em]it calls to me like [D]a warm wind [A]blowing
I feel no [Em]shame from where I came
[A]I was [D]born and [A]raised in [Em]the b[D]oondocks,
[A]yeah, [Em]yeah, yeah
One thing I know,
no matter where I might go
I have [E]my [D]heart and [A]soul in
[Em]the boondocks
Now listen
[E]It'[A]s where I learned about liv[Em]ing,
whoa yeah
[A]Where I learned about [Em]love, alright
It's [A]where I learned about
[Em]working hard, uh huh
And [D]having a little was [A]just enough
It's where I learned about [Em]Je sus,

And know[A]ing where [Em]I stand, uh huh
You can [A]take it or [Em]leave it
[D]This is me, [A]this is who I am
[Em]Feel no shame I'm
proud from where I came
I was [D]born [A]down in [Em]the boondock, yeah
One thing I know, no matter where I go
Got my [D]heart and [A]soul in [Em]the
[E]boo[Em]ndock[Bm]s
Give me a tin roof
A front porch [D]and a gravel, a gravel [Em]road
And that's home to me
[D]Feels like home to me, yeah, now
[A]You get a line, I'll get a pole, yeah

[Em]Five- card poker on a Saturday night
[D]Church on Sunday [A]morn[Em]ing,
