    Boondocks is like being so far out in the middle of nowhere, so far they have to pipe in sunlight. Sometimes the roads aren't even paved and your closest neighbor is a mile away. That's how I grew up.

    Boondocks isn't even just the country. It's secluded from the country.

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!

Family moved away to bigger town & city. Same moved to a different state altogether when they joined the military. My papa even grew sugar cane. Me and my cousins played outside all day without worrying about someone kidnapping us. Our favorite things to play with? Old tractor tires and old push mowers. Very simple life.

    My grandmothers home when I was a child was in the boondocks. The neighbors are very distant and you own land, not just the house but the land its on and then some. She owned a whole pond, and when I say pond I mean this thing must've been 20-30 feet wide, in her back yard, and the woods around it. People had to ask us if they could hunt in our woods or fish in our pond. It was a small house though, almost cabin-like but also basically just a double wide trailer. With a tin roof awning over both the porches. We grew our own herbs, fruits and vegetables. The neighbors way down the road had a farm so that's where the milk and eggs and meat came from. I hand picked pecans from the wild trees in the yard.
    The boondocks is a different kind of living. Its secluded but you're also friends with your closest neighbors. Its true country living.

    Ah, the boondocks are amazing! I proudly grew up "out past where the rabbits deliver the mail". Whatever you think "the country" is, go another 30 miles away from "town". No movie theaters, no malls, heck not even a dollar store, and certainly no fast food. If you're lucky enough to live close to a lake, you might get lucky and there will be an old country store selling cold cokes, ham sandwiches, and of course live bait (because you're going to the lake, lol). When you turn the lights out it is DARK and you see every star and lightning bug and you ear every animal and critter for a mile.

    I grew up in the boonies, and you'll know you're there when you're there. The forest is pretty much your yard, you learn to sleep through a bullfrogs angelic song, instead of clubs, you have bonfires. And your nearest neighbors are cows, pigs, turkeys, or sheep. Be prepared for poop dust, deer, bears, and coyotes.
    Don't plan on being anywhere soon. If you sneeze, your mama will know before lunch. Pigpickin's and hog hollerin' contests. The best way to describe the people is Tracy Byrd's "We're from the country".

    The boondocks, the sticks, the poorest side of town, or maybe even far away from a town if it's in farm country. Simple house, maybe without electricity, maybe with an outhouse, with old furniture ringed around a fire pit where everybody gathers in the evening to talk, laugh and maybe sing if there's a guitar or a banjo. Kids play with frogs instead of xbox, and fishing in the creek or pond is about as good as it gets. People out there help each other out no matter what, because it's what you do out there. Church on Sunday is a big event, everybody puts on their best duds, typically with a bit of a picnic after the service. Good, honest, simple people, with zero pretense in their lives.

My school was a public school, two townships, K-12 in one building- I graduated with 28 other people. 👀 The farmer on the other side of the road raised Texas Longhorns and bison. 🤣 I woke up every morning to my house shaking because the bison were doing laps around the field.

    I really like this, but I must admit I knew the Home Free version first, which is a mash-up with Fishing in the Dark. It's a great video - I think you'd enjoy it, when you get the chance to react to Home Free again.

    I'm currently living in the boondocks too! Fireworks the entire month of July! Gotta drive 20 + miles just to get a patchy cell signal. Internet and satellite go out every time a cloud farts! The only place I know of where an old fat lady can sit out on the back deck to get some sun and read a book! No body to see it, except hunters that are trespassing, but then they run like hell as fast and far away as possible! There's a sheriff and game warden somewhere in the county, but we pretty much do our own policing and game warden duties. Besides, sometimes that trespassing hunter IS the game warden! Love to live it and live to love it! God's country.

    The boondocks are way down an old gravel road. Where you have well water, a truck that fills your propane tank, every thing in the house mostly runs on electricity. You can heat and cook with your fireplace or wood burning stove. You have a garden, chickens, eggs, cows and other animals. You grow your own hay, fish in your ponds. Neighbors aren't close by but they're there if you need them and you for them. You don't take more from the earth than you can give back. If you see a funeral procession, you don't have to know them, you pull off the road, get out, take your hat off and now your head. You wave at everyone. Listen to rain on a tin roof. And there's more stars in the sky than you could ever imagine. I could keep going on. I hope I help paint you a picture. Please ask me anything you like. Good night

    Not sure if you could call it the "boondocks" but I grew up in a small town with a single paved road going straight through. Every road that everyone lived on was a proper dirt road through thick woods. If it rained, school got cancelled because buses couldn't drive down those roads. There's no speed limit on them, but you aren't going above 35 unless you want to cave your head in against the roof of your car/truck.
    We had a single gas station, a small church, a post office, an elementary school and a diner that just about everyone in town loves. That's it. If you drive straight through, that is all of the buildings you will see, surrounded by dense woods full of deer, dirt and if it rained earlier, the sound of a couple dozen country boys on four wheelers, mud boggin.
    I still miss living out there.

    I grew up hearing this reffed to as "God's Country" instead of Boondocks or Boonies, (cause where you live/are there, it's only you and God out there) Same thing said in a different way.

    Boondocks is usually called the Boonies and its the most rural part of any area. I'm watching this about to turn 40 and ttearing up a bit. I know they're in Alabama but everything about the video reminds me of Pasco County Florida. I'm immediately transported back to age 15, walking the dirt roads, climbing and jumping the vines, going to the friends house with the tin roof and all the shit in the front yard. Drinking shine and smoking weed and then wondering why our folks dragged us to church every sunday, only to now do the same to our own kids. Life's a funny ole dog

    FUNNY STORY...Kimberly Schlapman, the curly haired blonde in the group, is from the town I live in. MANY people here know her and are very proud of her. One Sunday, we were having potluck lunch after church and anyone who wanted could get up and sing whatever they wanted. Several people from the congregation got up and sang their favorite beautiful hymns. One small boy (Seth), about 7 years old, got up and everyone thought, "Oh, how sweet. Seth is going to sing his favorite song." And he did. He sang Boondocks, by Little Big Town! LOL

    Have you ever had honeysuckle? Or ever fallen asleep while it is raining under a tin roof? The BEST sleep ever! Need to try if you haven't. Especially if you're still in Texas.
    Also I realized a lot of country songs like this one sometimes just list things. Tin roof, front porch, and a gravel road. I have heard some people mock country music songs that do this because it just is listing things and yes some are cliche but, it's because everyone who is from the country, more specifically the south has sense memories of those things. Everyone from that culture knows what really being described. It gives atmosphere. It's basically word association.
    Tin roof- the sound of rain hitting a tin roof on a lazy day or in the evening cozied in bed. Gravel road- the feeling of driving over the bumbs and the sound of the gravel crunching. Front porch- feeling of warm wood under my feet while I rock in a rocking chair and good memories of hanging out with my family on a warm summer evening. I'm not from the boondocks specifically but, still from the south and I'm a country girl. These are what it invokes for me personally when those things are said.
    It just occurred to me those who didn't grow up here wouldn't get it. They are just things abstractly. It seems silly to outsiders because of that. When the country folk immediately know what they are talking about without even saying it really. And we're like "yeah it feels like home to me".

    BOONDOCKS: A remote rural area with little modern amenities often wooded or 'brushy' areas where most of the people live and work in the same basic geographical area with unsophisticated, simple people who would be considered 'Hillbillies' Yokels or farm boys / country girls to city folk. Any place more than a days walk from a city.

    I used to drive the interstate across Wyoming. There were stretches where the interstate had exits to dirt roads heading up to the mountains. In my mind that would be the boondocks. You might check out Hank Williams Jr, A Country Boy Can Survive.

    Living in the Boondocks is so far out in the country that you can't connect to the nearest cities water system. You have to have a well/cistern and haul water to your home when it does rain enough to fill your well. Also no cable or even satellite will reach out to the Boondocks.
