[Verse 1]
Dust on my boots
Red clay on the floor
Mama left the porch light
Granddaddy left the door
Holler got a heartbeat
Pounding through the pines
I been lost out here before
Still I come back in time
[Pre-Chorus]
Hear that screen door slap
Hear that gravel crack
Something in this blood
Keeps pulling me back
[Chorus]
Down in the holler
That’s where I’m born
Down in the holler
I can’t be torn
(I can’t be torn)
Run wild, run free
With my name in the trees
Down in the holler
That’s home to me
(That’s home to me)
[Verse 2]
Old Ford coughing up
Smoke on the hill
Mama’s beans on the stove
And the night stands still
Brother on the tailgate
Laughing through the rain
Every scar I ever earned
Got a sweet, old name
[Pre-Chorus]
Hear that screen door slap
Hear that gravel crack
Something in this blood
Keeps pulling me back
[Chorus]
Down in the holler
That’s where I’m born
Down in the holler
I can’t be torn
(I can’t be torn)
Run wild, run free
With my name in the trees
Down in the holler
That’s home to me
(That’s home to me)
[Bridge]
Let the world spin fast
Let the highways call
I got a fire in the dirt
And a root for it all
One hand to the sky
One hand on the wheel
If I ever lose my way
This place knows how I feel
[Final Chorus]
Down in the holler
That’s where I’m born
Down in the holler
I can’t be torn
(I can’t be torn)
Run wild, run free
With my name in the trees
Down in the holler
That’s home to me
(That’s home to me)
Down in the holler
That’s where I stand
Down in the holler
With this same old land
(Same old land)
Run wild, run free
Till the creek runs dry
Down in the holler
I’ll keep this fire alive
