Wordless Wednesday - Springtime Florida Boondocks Lyrics, Pictures, Singing

One thing I know, No matter where I go, I keep my heart and soul in the boondocks ~ Little Big Town


When you've had the life that I've had, there is beauty and peacefulness ...
it feels like a rebirth; it feels secluded; it feels closer to God!


I want my children to feel closer to God, respect nature and have a sense of
pride that comes from non-materialism opposed to how things used to be ...


Yes, the heat and bugs can be a lot; the frogs and owls are loud at night ...
Yet, there is always something new to explore and appreciate!


We see an average of 5 to 10 different birds each day. I didn't know that
I would learn to appreciate birds so much; I was scared of them before :)


Flowers grow wild in the sandy ground ... A miracle that unfolds before
our eyes and without expectation; just there for all to enjoy


It is springtime in the boondocks ... I'm loving it!

Boondocks Lyrics by Little Big Town

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

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
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 get a pole
we'll go fishing in the crawfish hole
5 card poker on Saturday night
church on Sunday morning

You get a line, I get a pole
(You get a line, I get a pole)
We'll go fishing
(We'll go fishing in the craw fish hole)
Down in the boondocks
(5 card poker on Saturday night)
Church on Sunday morning

You get a line, I get a pole
(You get a line, I get a pole)
We'll go fishing
(We'll go fishing in the craw fish hole)
Down in the boondocks
(5 card poker on Saturday night)
(Say a little prayer for me)
Church on Sunday morning

You get a line, I get a pole
(You get a line, I get a pole)
We'll go fishing
(We'll go fishing in the craw fish hole)
Down in the boondocks
(5 card poker on Saturday night)
(Say a little prayer for me)
Church on Sunday morning

How Far Back Can You Remember? Childhood Memories, Experiences & Expert Advice

I had a though while singing my baby to sleep ...

I had Max in my arms and Jonny sitting next to me on the couch. We were singing some of the songs that I used to sing to Jonny and Nate when they were younger. Some were from our favorite musicals. I then proceeded with a few songs that Jonny didn't know. This led to good old 'Brahms's Lullaby' (Lullaby and Goodnight). The next thing I knew, I was singing 'The Sidewalks of New York' ... I hadn't sang that song in years. Now that I am older, I realize that I sing it in a very soft, sweet, tone as if singing a lullaby.

My thought was actually a memory ...

I hadn't sang or heard 'The Sidewalks of New York' in almost 12 years (since Jonny was a baby). The funny thing is that I sing it softly like my step mother did. I'll have to ask her how young I was when she taught that to me, but I do remember her singing the same two songs to me - back to back - as a toddler.

Wow, a flashback from when I was a toddler ... 

A close friend of mine shared that she can remember as far back as being a baby. She remembers laying in her crib, though not being able to lift herself. She remembers seeing her mother from the crib ... It is pretty cool how vividly she explains it ...

How far back can you remember?

I read an article on Discovery Health stating that it is rare to remember before the age 3 ... Adults have something that Sigmund Freud called, infantile amnesia. Experts now call it childhood amnesia. The most interesting part of the article is that we can start forming long term memories in our infants as early as 3 to 6 months ... This is exciting to me because I want to get Baby Signing Time and Your Baby Can Read for our son, Max. I was wondering how early I should introduce it to him. Anyways, here's the link to the Discovery Health article if interested in checking it out: Can a person remember being born?

Is this correct? Can you remember anything from before you were 3 years old? Let us know in the comment section below.
