Capo 2nd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

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

(Verse)

 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

(Repeat Chorus)

 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

(Repeat Chorus)

(Bridge)

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

(Pre-chorus - I enjoy strumming the chords lightly through this even though the

song only has one or two strums per chord)

 Give me a tin roof

 A front porch and a gravel road

 And that's home to me

 It feels like home to me

(Repeat Chorus)

 I keep my heart and soul in the boondocks

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

You get a line, I'll get a pole

We'll go fishing in the crawfish hole

(Down in the boondocks)

Five-card poker on a Saturday night

Church on Sunday morning
