(Chorus):


D
I feel no shame

D
I'm proud of where I came from

      C        G           
I was born and raised in the 

      D
boondocks

D
One thing I know

D
No matter where I go

          C         G         
I keep my heart and soul in the 

      D
boondocks

(Verse)


          Am
And I can feel

     C                             
That muddy water running through my

 D
 veins

          Am        C          
And I can hear that lullaby of a 

           D
midnight train

   C                  G
It sings to me and it sounds 
familiar

(Repeat Chorus)


          Am
And I can taste

     C                             
That honeysuckle and it's still so 

D
sweet

Continues after the ad
        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         
I keep my heart and soul in the 

      D
boondocks
