I feel no shame
I'm proud of where I came from
I was born and raised in the Boondocks
Lazy, yellow Moon comin' up tonight
Shinin' through the trees
The crickets are singin'
And the lightnin' bugs are floatin' on the breeze
Baby get ready
Cross the field where the crick turns back
By the old stone road
I'm gonna take you to a special place
That nobody knows
Baby get ready, oh, Oh!
You and me goin' fishin' in the dark
Lyin' on our backs and countin' the stars
Where the cool grass grows
(I feel no shame in the Boondocks)
Down by the river in the full Moon light
We'll be fallin' in love in the middle of the night
Just movin' slow (movin' slow, movin' slow)
Stayin' the whole night through (all night through)
Feels so good to be with you
I feel no shame
I'm proud of where I came from
I was born and raised in the Boondocks
(Raised up in the Boondocks)
One thing I know
No matter where I go
I keep my heart and soul in the Boondocks
(Heart and soul in the Boondocks)
It's where I learned about livin'
It's where I learned about love
It's where I learned about workin' 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
You and me goin' fishin' in the dark
Lyin' on our backs and countin' the stars
Where the cool grass grows
(Born and raised in the Boondocks)
Down by the river in the full Moon light
We'll be fallin' in love in the middle of the night
Just movin' slow (movin' slow, movin' slow)
I feel no shame
I'm proud of where I came from
I was born and raised in the Boondocks
(Born and raised in the Boondocks)
One thing I know
No matter where I go
I keep my heart and soul in the Boondocks
(Stayin' the whole night through)
Feels so good to be with you
You get a line
I'll get a pole
We'll go fishin' in the crawfish hole
Five-card poker on a Saturday night
Church on Sunday morning
I'll keep my heart and soul in the Boondocks
