Over deze songtekst:

Het woord 'boondocks' is een Amerikaanse term waarmee een afgelegen plattelands gebied wordt bedoeld. Soms wordt de term ook gebruikt voor een afgelegen dorp of stadje dat niet ontwikkeld is.
De term is door de militairen die in de Filipijnen gelegerd waren geïntroduceerd. Boondock komt van het Filipijnse woord 'bundok' en betekent 'berg'. De bergen in de Filipijnen zijn schaars bewoonde en afgelegen gebieden.

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 the midnight train
And 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

I can taste that honeysuckle and it's still so sweet
When it grows wild on the banks down at old Camp Creek
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 knowin' 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, 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 crawfish hole
Five card poker on Saturday night
Church on Sunday morning

You get a line, I'll get a pole
We'll go fishing in the crawfish hole
Five card poker on Saturday night
Church on Sunday morning

You get a line, I'll get a pole
We'll go fishing in the crawfish hole
Five card poker on Saturday night
Church on Sunday morning

You get a line, I'll get a pole
We'll go fishing in the crawfish hole
Five card poker on Saturday night
Church on Sunday morning
