Give me a tin roof, a front porch and a gravel road
People who know me well would probably describe both my fashion sense and my music tastes as eclectic. I'm skater shoes and classic rock, hippie skirts and Christian contemporary, Wranglers and Wynona. And probably some of everything in between.
I look at both clothes and music as ways to tell the world who I am.
So, if you've been reading this blog and learning a little about me, it shouldn't come as a surprise that I'm a huge fan of Little Big Town's newest song, where the title of this post comes from.
My favorite part of "Boondocks" might be this:
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
But the ending is probably what says the most about me, because it points to the contrasts in my personality that I mentioned earlier.
We'll go fishing in the crawfish hole
Five-card poker on a Saturday night
Church on Sunday morning
So what do you think? Any songs, new or old, that describe or remind you of life in York County or your life in particular? I've got several, but this is definitely my new favorite.
