[Intro]
It's no surprise where most vegetables come from
Lou's vegetable stand?
Most vegetables, pa
Most vegetables come from the country, Larry
That's right, Bob
From down on the farm
Off a dirt road in the boondocks

[Chorus]
I feel no shame, I'm proud of where I came from
I was born and raised in the boondocks (Me too)
One thing I know, no matter where I go
I keep my heart and soul in the boondocks (Right there with you, brother)

[Verse 1]
I can feel that
Muddy water running through my veins (That's not good)
I can hear that
Lullaby of the midnight train
And it sings to me and it sounds familiar

[Chorus]
I feel no shame, I'm proud of where I came from
I was born and raised in the boondocks (Oh-ho, mais oui!)
One thing I know, no matter where I go
I'll keep my heart and soul in the boondocks
[Verse 2]
I can taste that
Honeysuckle and it's still so sweet, so sweet
When it grows wild
On the banks down at old Camp Creek
Oh, and it calls to me like a warm wind blowing

[Chorus]
I feel no shame, I'm proud of where I came from
I was born and raised in the boondocks (Oh, yeah)
One thing I know, no matter where I go
I keep my heart and soul in the boondocks

[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

[Interlude]
I can see you're all very proud of your heritage, I respect that
Come on, pa, let's go noodlin' (Is that Italian?)
[Bridge]
Give me a tin roof, a front porch and a gravel road
And that's home to me, feels like home to me

[Interlude]
It's actually where go fishin' for catfish without usin' a fishin' pole
Well, what do you use?
Your bare hands
Think about that for a second
Oh, yeah, well, then let's go muddin'
This just keeps gettin' weirder

[Refrain]
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

[Interlude]
Haha, étouffée (Gimme some gumbo!)

[Outro]
You get a line, I'll get a pole
We'll go fishing in the crawfish hole
Take my bath on a Saturday night
Church on Sunday morning
You get a line, I'll get a pole (You get a line, I'll get a pole)
We'll go fishing (We'll go fishing in the crawfish hole)
Down in the boondocks (Take my bath on a Saturday night)
Church on Sunday morning
You get a line, I'll get a pole (You get a line, I'll get a pole)
We'll go fishing (We'll go fishing in the crawfish hole)
Down in the boondocks (Take my bath on a Saturday night)
(Say a little prayer for me) Church on Sunday morning
You get a line, I'll get a pole (You get a line, I'll get a pole)
We'll go fishing (We'll go fishing in the crawfish hole)
Down in the boondocks (Take my bath on a Saturday night)
(Say a little prayer for me) Church on Sunday morning
Where's a guy gotta go around here to get a good pastrami sandwich?
