Raised In The Holler

(album: Born For This - 2022)

I got a little bit of shine, homemade in the pines
Never spent a nickel or a dime on the liquor I still
The buckshot, downshot, gun loud
Dreaming of a crowd at a party in a big-ass field
And every bonfire and every twelve-point buck I kill
Came from hard-ass work in-between these pines
On my Granddaddy's G.I. Bill

'Cause I was raised in the holler
And baptized in the water
There ain't no shame in who I am
'Cause I'm a damn proud southern man
You can find me down yonder
Sipping shine a little stronger
I learned all I know down a one-lane road where I call home
'Cause I was raised in the holler

'Round here, we grew up on Hank and Willie
Some call us redneck, some call us hillbilly
And I really don't give a damn what you say
No, I don't know any other way

'Cause I was raised in the holler
And baptized in the water
There ain't no shame in who I am
'Cause I'm a damn proud southern man
You can find me down yonder
Sipping shine a little stronger
Learned all I know down a one-lane road where I call home
'Cause I was raised in the holler

I'm proud of this land and my last name
And I'll stand for the flag, that'll never change

In this holler
Baptized in the water
There ain't no shame in who I am
'Cause I'm a damn proud southern man
You can find me down yonder
Sipping shine a little stronger
I learned all I know down a one-lane road where I call home (Yeah)
'Cause I was raised in the holler
