[Verse 1]
Raised in the holler
red clay on my boots
granddad’s Bible in the dash
but I bend a few rules
Rust on the Chevy
stickers on the glass
"Take the long road, boy"
he said, "and make it last"
[Chorus]
I’m that holler kid
turned it up and never quit
From them backwood gravel turns
to a floodlight Friday blitz
Got that small town on my skin
but a big world in my fists
If you feel like you don’t fit
sing it loud, you’re my people
(holler kid, holler kid)
[Verse 2]
Moonshine in a Sprite
passed down the row
home team losin’
but we still stole the show
She danced in my flannel
bare feet in the bed
said, "You ain’t like the rest"
and it stuck in my head
[Chorus]
I’m that holler kid
turned it up and never quit
From them backwood gravel turns
to a floodlight Friday blitz
Got that small town on my skin
but a big world in my fists
If you feel like you don’t fit
sing it loud, you’re my people
(holler kid, holler kid)
[Bridge]
This one’s for the late shift saints
for the ink-stained hands and the gas pump tanks
For the misfit hearts in the marching band
who never quite walked in a straight-line plan
We ain’t lost
we’re just finding our own way back
[Chorus]
We’re the holler kids
turned it up and never quit
From them backwood gravel turns
to a floodlight Friday blitz
Got that small town on our skin
but a big world in our fists
If you feel like you don’t fit
sing it loud, you’re my people
(holler kid, holler kid)
