    I was born in the slums and swore I'd get out to the boondocks one day. My wife is also from a city and had the same thoughts. Now, almost 22 years after buying a bunch of acres and an old farmhouse in the deep woods of a hill town with 4,000 people, it is in my blood. We raised our daughter here and though she's off to a big city college, she can't wait to get home on break, play with the hounds and drive past the farms and ride a horse. She wants and will get this place when we're gone. Damn it's heaven, and this song NAILS it!!!

    Probably one of the few country songs I'll ever listen to. I'm not from the boondocks, but dang, I love the message of this song!! Not only is it a "don't forget your roots" song, but I can't help but feel like people who were raised in this sort of life are the hardiest people you'll ever meet, who understand a true hard day's work!

      Sorry for the loss of your friend! Many years ago, my *brother* got addicted to heroin, in *jail,* FFS, thanks (NOT) to a nurse that had a case of the hots for him. He struggled for years after getting out, trading his drug addiction for alcohol - a common problem. Thankfully, he managed to get clean, to the point of refusing pain medication (morphine), in the ambulance, and ER, when he had a bike accident, and ended up with a shattered & compound ankle fracture. Being from a small city, our ortho surgeons weren't up for the task, so he had to wait until a hospital with trauma surgeons had a bed available. He spent almost 30 hours lying on a stretcher in our ER Dept, taking nothing stronger than regular strength Tylenol. He DID have a few rough days though, when the surgical ER nurse put some in his IV, just as he was going into the recovery room. Seems they forgot to note it on his chart. The nurses then gave him a few more "maintenance" doses when he was napping. He raised holy hell when they came in to give him another one, and he was awake. After that, he took only his prescription meds, and had a rare, single beer, or glass of wine. So proud of him for turning his life around. He died of cancer, at 52. RIP, fam 😪 😇😇😇😇 God bless **all** of our souls 🙏

( non taxed, illegal shine! And still doing that now) If you went in those backwoods places and they didn't know you, least that would happen was a warning shotgun blast over your head, maybe more if the property owner was PO or you looked like you was " Goverment"!! Ha! I didn't appreciate that kind of country life when I had it. But remembering it as an adult has helped me be strong, I came from tough, strong survivor people.

Eventually, I learned to relax about it and was even told by a lot of people that they loved New York accents, and so I do retain what I have remaining. 👍🏻

    I'm a Gay Jewish Metalhead born and raised in New York City. I fell in-love with this amazing song the very first time I overheard it on someone else's radio back in 2005. 16 years and counting later-on, I am still in-love with it. It's just an absolutely incredible song. One of my all-time favorites. ❤️

      Curious why you had to stereo type yourself? What would have been wrong with saying “im bob, I like this song”.
      Checking yourself into boxes, instead of allowing yourself to be heard with no restraints. People say way to much in this 2023! Keep comments Short and sweet, and you’ll be good brotha bob. I like this jam too. My name is Joshua, have a good day fam

    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
    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
    When it grows wild
    On the banks down at old camp creek
    Yeah, and 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 learned about living
    It's where I learned about love
    It's where I learned about working hard
    And having a little was just enough
    It's where I learned about Jesus
    And knowing where I stand
    You can take it or leave it, this is me
    This is who I am
    Give me a tin roof
    A front porch and a gravel road
    And 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
    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
    You get a line, I'll get a pole
    We'll go fishing in the craw fish hole
    Five-card poker on a Saturday night
    Church on Sunday morning
    You get a line, I'll get a pole
    We'll go fishing in the craw fish hole
    (Down in the boondocks)
    Five-card poker on a Saturday night
    Church on Sunday morning
    You get a line, I'll get a pole
    We'll go fishing in the craw fish hole
