Devil In This Holler

(álbum: On Your Time - 2023)

I get here early, and I go home late
Lately, what seems like every day
I keep my head up till I stop to pray
At the top of the hill is a sacred place

But down in the valley is where I roam
With these faded memories and half-written songs
And just when it seems that nothing else could go wrong
That's when I'm reminded we're not alone

There's a devil in this holler
There's evil in these hills
I'm just trying to make a dollar 'cause I've got to pay my bills
There might be gold on this mountain, but there's fire on the ground
Yeah, there's a devil in this holler, but he ain't gonna pull me down

Well, I throw my hand up when I'm driving in
Speak to the ones that ask me how I've been
By the time that I leave, I'm tired and in pain
I put the pedal to the floor on my way home to beat the train

I find my pride at the end of the day
My kids and my bride are why I live this way
Hand in hand at the table
Thank God for one more night
If I wake up in the morning, I'll be ready for the fight

There's a devil in this holler
There's evil in these hills
I'm just trying to make a dollar 'cause I've got to pay my bills
There might be gold on this mountain, but there's fire on the ground
Yeah, there's a devil in this holler, but he ain't gonna pull me down

There's a devil in this holler
There's evil in these hills
I'm just trying to make a dollar 'cause I've got to pay my bills
There might be gold on this mountain, but there's fire on the ground
Yeah, there's a devil in this holler, but he ain't gonna pull me down
Yeah, there's a devil in this holler, but he ain't gonna pull me down
