The Holler Remains

“The Holler Remains”

Lyrics

Verse 1

Smoke rollin" low through the cedar and pine,

Ghosts still hum that old bloodline.

Wind keeps whisperin’ secrets through the grain,

I take a long pull --- while the holler remains.

Verse 2

Granddaddy’s still hummin" down by the creek,

Copper and fire, talkin’ low and sweet.

The law came once, but they learned their pain,

‘Cause truth runs hot — and the holler remains.

Chorus

The holler remains, where the moonshine flows,

Where the soul of the South still quietly grows.

Through thunder and rain, through the loss and the pain,

You can take what you want — but the holler remains.

Verse 3

Sunday mornin’s got a hungover grace,

Choir sounds tired, but the Lord still waits.

Smoke curls high through the chapel pane,

Mix of heaven and hell — and the holler remains.

Bridge

One guitar cries, one testifies,

One keeps time while the spirit flies.

Pines keep blowin’, hummin’ that strain,

Like a hymn in the haze — and the holler remains.

Final Chorus

The holler remains, where the firelight glows,

Where the spirit of the mountain still quietly knows.

Through thunder and rain, through the loss and the pain,

You can bury the bones — but the holler remains.

Outro

Yeah… the smoke still rises,

And the soul still stays —

Three guitars cryin’ in the Tennessee haze,

The holler remains.
