Song Lyrics for Holler Green

Woke up hearin’ that kettle hiss, mountain fog rollin’ low and slow
Grabbed my boots and my faded flannel, stepped where the pine trees grow
My uncle left me a secret patch, said Son, keep it outta sight
Now every sunrise in this holler feels like the world’s alright

Neighbors stop by talkin’ hard times, leanin’ on the porch rail thin
I just smile and tap that jar and tell ’em Take a breath, come in

Holler green, holler green, light it up and let it sing
Roll that mountain medicine, float like a creek in spring
Holler green, holler green, pass it down the line with me
Life ain’t heavy when we’re steady with a little holler green

Mama says it don’t fix trouble, but it sure makes the hurt less loud
Daddy used to sneak a puff or two when the coal mine wore him down
We ain’t rich but we share the love, every leaf and every laugh
Sittin’ ’round a fire tellin’ stories ’bout the things we can’t take back

Some folks chase a bigger life, highways wide and city bright
But I chose smoke and a banjo stroke in a quiet mountain night

Holler green, holler green, light it up and let it sing
Roll that mountain medicine, float like a creek in spring
Holler green, holler green, pass it down the line with me
Life ain’t heavy when we’re steady with a little holler green

Let the wind carry my worries, let the smoke carry the rest
When the world spins too damn fast, these hills know what’s best

Holler green, holler green, raise your voice, keep it clean
Kindness grows in every bowl, that’s Appalachian dream
Holler green, holler green, pass it down the line with me
Life feels easy, slow, and breezy with a little holler green
