Tell me I needn't fear, please be kind 'Cause if you leave me, dear, I know my heart will lose its mind Well, this is my first affair, please be kind Handle my heart with care, please be kind This is all so grand, my dreams are on parade If you'll just

I keep my heart and soul in the boondocks 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 You get a line, I'll get a pole We'll go fishing in the craw fish hole Five-card poker

My heart is running for your love I know that we'll be forever Forever together as one Our hearts will share the same shelter We share a place under the same sun Cold blue rain Same old place I don't wanna think about it
