Boondocks
Little Big Town Lyrics

I feel no shame
The singer has no shame about their background and upbringing

I'm proud of where I came from
The singer feels pride in their roots

I was born and raised in the boondocks
The singer was born and grew up in a rural, isolated area

One thing I know
There is one thing the artist is certain of

No matter where I go
The artist has traveled to various places

I keep my heart and soul in the boondocks
The singer has a strong connection to their roots and upbringing

And I can feel that muddy water running through my veins
The singer has a strong connection to the land they grew up on

And I can hear that lullaby of a midnight train
The sound of trains passing through the area is familiar to the artist

And it sings to me and it sounds familiar
The artists hears comfort in the sound of the train

I can taste that honeysuckle and it's still so sweet
The artist has fond memories of the sweet honeysuckle that grows in their childhood area

When it grows wild on the banks down at old camp creek
The honeysuckle grows wildly near a creek that the singer frequented

Yeah, and it calls to me like a warm wind blowing
The sound of the honeysuckle is comforting and familiar to the artist

It's where I learned about living
The singer learned important life lessons in the boondocks

It's where I learned about love
The singer experienced love and relationships in their childhood area

It's where I learned about working hard
The singer developed a strong work ethic in the boondocks

And having a little was just enough
The artist learned to be content with minimal possessions

It's where I learned about Jesus
The artist was introduced to Christianity in their childhood area

And knowing where I stand
The singer has a strong sense of their beliefs and values

Well you can take it or leave it
The singer is unapologetic about their beliefs and values

This is me, this is who I am
The artist has a strong sense of self-identity

Give me a tin roof
The artist desires a simple, rustic home

A front porch and a gravel road
The artist romanticizes a peaceful, country lifestyle

And that's home to me
The singer feels most at home in this kind of environment

Feels like home to me
The artist feels a strong sense of belonging in this type of environment

You get a line, I'll get a pole
The singer invites someone to go fishing with them

We'll go fishing in the craw fish hole
The singer plans to fish for crawfish in a particular location

Five-card poker on a Saturday night
The singer enjoys playing poker with friends

Church on Sunday morning
The artist is religious and attends church on Sundays

sing a little prayer for me
The artist requests a prayer from the listener

Down in the boondocks
All of the previous lines refer to life in a rural, isolated area
