[Verse]
The maples blush in red and gold,
A chill rides down the valley fold,
The creek hums low, its voice so clear,
Time feels slower this time of year.
[Chorus]
Oh, autumn in the holler, where the world turns still,
The smoky haze of morning wraps the hills.
Leaves like fire tumble, dance, and sway,
Eastern Kentucky steals my breath away.
[Verse 2]
The old barn leans against the sky,
A hawk cuts circles, flying high.
Cornstalks rattle, whisper low,
While shadows stretch as the sunsets glow.
[Prechorus]
And every breath smells like woodsmoke and pine,
This season feels like it’s yours and mine.
[Chorus]
Oh, autumn in the holler, where the world turns still,
The smoky haze of morning wraps the hills.
Leaves like fire tumble, dance, and sway,
Eastern Kentucky steals my breath away.
[Bridge]
The mountains hold their secrets tight,
Under stars that burn so bright.
The porch swing creaks, the crickets sing,
I close my eyes, and I feel everything.
