Hills And Hollers Lyrics

Hills and Hollers
Adrienne Young / Mark D. Sanders


Well I feel like a stranger in my own hometown
There�s traffic in the air where there used to be the sound
Of tall trees growin� and kids runnin� wild
Or maybe I was lookin� through the eyes of a child
But I swear�

There used to be
Hills and hollers here
Wild turkey and the white tailed deer
Creeks runnin� crystal clear
Water on its way to the Gulf of Mexico
Moonshine on the mountaintop
Daddy sawin� fiddle like he never gonna stop
Lord, if these hills could talk
They�d say sing me a song that goes
Oh, mama leave the light on
Oh, shine like the sun on the shadows of history

They laid the first paved road back in �45
Now you gotta have wheels if you�re gonna survive
Black top over gravel
Gravel over mud
Seems the oil in our veins runs thicker than the blood
But I swear�

There used to be
Hills and hollers here
Wild turkey and the white tailed deer
Creeks runnin� crystal clear
Water on its way to the Gulf of Mexico
Moonshine on the mountaintop
Daddy sawin� fiddle like he never gonna stop
Lord, if these hills could talk
They�d say sing me a song that goes
Oh, mama leave the light on
Oh, shine like the sun on the shadows of history
