Little Big Town - Boondocks (Official Music Video) 

I was born in the slums and swore I'd get out to the boondocks one day. My wife is also from a city and had the same thoughts. Now, almost 22 years after buying a bunch of acres and an old farmhouse in the deep woods of a hill town with 4,000 people, it is in my blood. We raised our daughter here and though she's off to a big city college, she can't wait to get home on break, play with the hounds and drive past the farms and ride a horse. She wants and will get this place when we're gone. Damn it's heaven, and this song NAILS it!!!

Probably one of the few country songs I'll ever listen to. I'm not from the boondocks, but dang, I love the message of this song!! Not only is it a "don't forget your roots" song, but I can't help but feel like people who were raised in this sort of life are the hardiest people you'll ever meet, who understand a true hard day's work!

This song is timeless for us folks that love how we grew up. We have a legacy and we are proud of where we came from. Hi Mama!

16 years later, never gets old.

Beautiful song. "Where I learned about Jesus, where I learned about workin' hard."

Grew up poor, but only poor money wise! I had food, place to sleep, family love and great banjo and guitar music on the front porch on weekends!

this song brings back so many memories of being on my grandparent's farm. now i'm lucky to be living in the same house, with a tin roof and a gravel drive, honeysuckles growing down by the old stable, blackberries down by the old hog lot where we used to go catch crawfish, hearing the coyotes howl at night and greeting the skunks that come up to my back porch. they don't bother me and i don't bother them. in the over 50 years of my life i am the happiest here in this house....on this old farm....down in the boondocks.

I’m a city girl but damn,,, I feel this deep in my heart.❤️ Maybe cause my grandma was from West Virginia back in 1920

My buddy loved this tune. Had it blasting when I came home from Iraq in 2009. He died after a long struggle with addiction. Reminds me of him and the times we had that year. RIP Mike.

This song came out shortly after I moved to the city from living on the base of Mt. St. Helen's. 18 years later and this sing still radiates in my soul.

Grew up in NC around when this song released. Still proud of where I came from and this song hits hard no matter the year.

Almost 2023 and this song still hits right, harmonies are on point.

i grew up in the middle of no where. fishing in ponds that were dammed out or dug out for irrigation for fields. hunted in those fields for rabbit, dove, deer. the nearest grocery store or town was 45 minutes away. my only friends growing up was my fishing pole, my 20 gauge, and my dog. i since moved to the big city for work and i miss it every day. cant do a damn thing here without having the cops called on you.

2024 and its still good.

This song was released when I was 13 always listened to it with my father while I worked with him for many summers...he's gone now it brings back a lot of memories...RIP Dad..

2024 and a half

I am proud of where I came from. God bless the USA!

Being proud of where you come from is important.I used to hide my accent and ignore where I came from when I moved to California,in my 20's.But I realized I was conveying that I was ashamed of the people who raised me.And I could not be any more proud than I already am. I'm from w.va and I come from good stock.

I'm British, born and raised in London. Spent a summer living in rural Minnesota in 2009 - discovered a lot of country music in those days and this is one of the songs I remember hearing heaps on the radio.

One of my all time favorites.. born and raised in the boondocks of northeast Pennsylvania.

God bless everyone associated with your band members family's as well 🙏 ❤️.....Sharing always 🙏

There's a few important things in this world, and they are knowing where you stand, knowing where you come from and being proud of where you come from.

Just reminiscing with my mom about these bands when I was a kid. So many great 4th of July picnics.... memorial day picnics, WILD bonfires (cops called many times) 😂

WHO ELSE IS STILL BUMPING THIS IN 2021?? Alone in the car trying to hit those high notes! 😁😁🗣🎶

Can't believe this was 11 years ago😔

This group is timeless and classic! What Fleetwood Mac is to Rock Little Big Town is to Country! The music and lyrics show the passion of the rural "everyman" and evoked happy memories of harth and home! Most of all rich or poor have pride!!

2024. 57 year old woman, just came in from fishin'. In Washington State, but feeling little big

Their harmonies are so impeccable

i was born and raised in west Virginia and let me tell you one thing, YOU GOT TO FUCKING LOVE THIS SONG!!!!!

There are days when the heart wants soothing music… I came her for that reason. Thank you for being a great bunch of singers. Love y’all.

This was the shit when I was a kid

Where has the time gone? Still sound just as amazing as ever 😊

Amazing harmonies. Love their voices and how this song takes me back to Texas and my roots. God Bless Texas!!!!!!

I love this song. Technically we were a bit poor or whatever but we were rich. I'm thankful for what I have and I have never felt like I went without or wanted for anything...I'm thankful.

I’m from Brooklyn NY yet this song hits me as it can mean anything to anyone….it’s childhood. Amazing ❤

Heard this for the 1st time today on a local fm rDio station. I've just become a country fan. Love this band and this song😊

WOW THEY ARE REALLY GOOD. I GUESS WHAT I LOVE MOST ABOUT THEM IS THEIR RHYTHM AND GREAT VOCALS

This song just reaches into my heart. Love it more and more.

One thing I know no matter where I go I still like this song. "20" 🤠👍

I may live in the city now, but I grew up on a dirt road surrounded by pastures. Coworkers never get why I walk barefoot on the dirt road. Nobody understands how I’ve never been stuck on our dirt road in my two wheel drive cars and I’m like you just got to know the dirt and know the sand and don’t stop 😜

This song makes me think of my church I grew up going to as a child 😇✝️❤️

Be proud of where you came from , Where ever that may be Rock ON.

This song is still great in 2022. If you understand, you were born in the boondocks. 👌

I'm a Gay Jewish Metalhead born and raised in New York City. I fell in-love with this amazing song the very first time I overheard it on someone else's radio back in 2005. 16 years and counting later-on, I am still in-love with it. It's just an absolutely incredible song. One of my all-time favorites. ❤️

After all my travels around this amazing world of ours, in just about every city and country on this planet. I'm always happiest when I return to my home in Alabama. There's just nothing in all the world like the American South.

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 a midnight train 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 And I can taste That honeysuckle and it's still so sweet When it grows wild On the banks down at old camp creek Yeah, 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 knowing 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 It 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 craw fish hole Five-card poker on a Saturday night Church on Sunday morning You get a line, I'll get a pole We'll go fishing in the craw fish hole (Down in the boondocks) Five-card poker on a Saturday night Church on Sunday morning You get a line, I'll get a pole We'll go fishing in the craw fish hole (Down in the boondocks) Five-card poker on a Saturday night Church on Sunday morning Say a little prayer for me

I'm from L.A. and I love this song.......Lower Alabama. North Florida.

Did not have much growing up but I had love and food and I am proud to have grown up poor and in the country

How did I get here? Don't care, I like it, good tune.

Don't know nothing about the boondocks personally, but my dad talked about it a lot. Guessing he knew all about it. Love the song from a heartfelt personal knowledge my dad left behind. Thanks for bringing that memory back. As well as as the memory of the song Pontoon. It's like you know me. Thanks

I remember this song. Omg. Brings back memories of being in Texas and being 11 years old and I'm 34 now. I miss that. You can take the country girl out of Texas but you can't take Texas out of the girl. Country girl can survive. 🥰

That Ho Down at the end made the song. It never gets old. Years ago, I heared that part on the radio and was like "What on earth was that!? That was awesome!". I stayed on that radio station to find that song again. It got me into Country music.

proud Texans here and proud southerner as well

LBT, this song was first the song I heard from you. I knew you where gonna be a legendary group of Country musical world. God Bless you and your families in coming into our lives with Beautiful songs 🙏, Amen!!!!!

We are proud Southerners with our hearts and souls in the boondocks and in the swamps.

Soul thumping music. It just speaks to you wherever you're from. Soulful

This song is 15 years old, already! Where does the time go! Great song, always!

I first heard this song years ago when it came out. Now coming back to listen again it holds special meaning, since I moved away from my old home place. I grew up on an old farm, with pastures, woods, and creeks. Honeysuckles and blackberries grew there. Oh, and a railroad track ran I guess about a thousand feet from our house, the "midnight train", as this song puts it. I sure do miss that place. Now there's a huge warehouse where our house used to be, but I'll never forget the memories made there.

That tin roof and a muddy dirt road. Thinking back" about the tin roof making music to the drop of the rain. Been living under shingles so long I wish I could hear it again.. Just laying back relaxing to a hard rain on that tin roof could bring peace from deep within

This will always be my top fave since we were raised in the boondocks.😍 Phillip, we try to keep them cousins in line for ya! 😂😉🥰

I do t know why I like this song I'm from the hood in Cleveland.😝

I never get tired of listening to their music.

That last part at the end is just SO good. I love the hint of gospel music. Hopefully, they'll play in Columbus, Ohio some day.

I haven't fished in my life and my dad is just now teaching me how to shoot a gun, but DAMN this song makes living in the south better

Born In Puerto Rico.. Raised In Spfld, Mass.. {PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN}.. Freedom To Live, & Be Who You Want To Be.. GOD Bless The U.S.A..

my Nana always turned this song on and we would dance and sing around our HUGE house we bought together (well i helped with my job @ Walmart LOL) r.i.p. Nana heaven gained an angel 😢😇👼

Wow. I didn’t realize this was 13 years ago! They all look sooooo young!

Me and my siblings have grown up in the country and still thinking about it alot after one of my sister's passed away last night and can't get this song out of my head

This whole song is words to live by.😊

I can relate to this song. I lived in the country. Great childhood with loving parents and amazing siblings. I was the youngest of six.

You know i love country people it is the absolute best of people nobody wants to out do ,or blame everybody, or anything like that i am proud to be country 👍

Coming from a vocalist. That brown hair dude is literally insane.

Representing Greensboro, North Carolina here and yes - I LOVE this song! Speaks to the heart!

One of the only country bands I've heard that actually displays some musical talent. Those chords and that canon at the end are no joke.

If you look it up, “the boondocks” expression originates from the word “bundok” in the Philippine language... cool beans! Love this song! 💗And i’m from the Philippines ❤️ but now living in the boonies in the US of A 😍😍😍

This song is as cold as a tall glass of ice water 🦁

I'm not that big on country music, but this was beautiful and i love it.

Foxes and fossils brought me here. Great song.

Little Big Town: thanks for posting. Love this song. Cheers!

I'm a descent from that Muddy Water and that Hunnysuckle.Sweet Jesus.❤

Absolutely one of my favorite songs❤

Proud to be a SC girl.! Love these roads and HEY YALL welcomes. Love swimming in lakes and getting dirty.!

Im from southern Mississippi. Im not really a country fan ironically i listen to metalcore and stuff but damn this is a straight masterpiece i cannot deny it.

This Reminds me of where I came from and All the things I love that God gave us.

Song will never get old

So thankful that my cousin got me hooked on this band.

Can proudly say this song is about my hometown

Thank god I was born where I was. Not enough country to scorn the city. Not enough city to scorn country.

As a girl born and raised in the Mississippi Delta, I can honestly say that of all the songs made about southerners, Boondocks is one that TRULY is the most accurate!!! They 💯 NAILED IT!!!

Still a great song...4 voices blended into perfection!!!

Growing up in a more populated area and watching this song makes me realize I missed out on this simpler and different life. It really defines who a person is.

I LOVE that coda! It could end perfectly well the last time they finish the refrain "... heart and soul in the boondocks" (3:10), and we'd all have been perfectly satisfied. But no! They start singing a new melody about going fishing in the crawfish hole added on as a gift to the listeners for staying with the song until the end to bring it all together. Just masterful!

You get a line I’ll get a pole! Love that line and ending

Born and raised in the Groveland, Ma. And I can feel that Merrimack river running through my veins.

this is my number one Country song it's just freaking awesome buddy

I love this one, I was born in the boondocks of southeast Ohio and I makes me feel like I am back home.....

I remember watching this as a teenager on MTV I was 14. Now I'm 30. How time flies

Never gets old

I don't care if you're from the boondocks or the bustling city. You can't but sing the lyrics! :-)
