The Holler Knows My Name

[Intro]
[Verse]
Neon lights are fading out
I turned my dusty car about
Left the stage and left the crowd
Silence feels so very loud
Back to where the ridge is blue
Nothing left for me to do
[Pre-Chorus]
The highway hums a lonesome tune
Underneath a paper moon
I’m chasing ghosts of who I was
Just because, just because
[Chorus]
Sage and thyme and mountain air
Finding peace and beauty there
Creaking swing on the old front porch
I’ve finally put down the torch
Hear the foghorn on the stream
Waking from a city dream
In the garden, I am free
Tennessee is holding me
[Verse]
Granny’s garden’s overgrown
Seeds that she had long ago sown
Lavender and rosemary
Whisper secrets back to me
Dirt beneath my fingernails
Telling all my quiet tales
[Chorus]
Sage and thyme and mountain air
Finding peace and beauty there
Creaking swing on the old front porch
I’ve finally put down the torch
Hear the foghorn on the stream
Waking from a city dream
In the garden, I am free
Tennessee is holding me
[Solo]
[Bridge]
Nashville didn't want my song
I knew I didn't quite belong
But the holler knows my name
And it loves me just the same
No more gold and no more glitz
Where the broken spirit fits
I can hear the river call
Catching me before I fall
[Chorus]
Sage and thyme and mountain air
Finding peace and beauty there
Creaking swing on the old front porch
I’ve finally put down the torch
Hear the foghorn on the stream
Waking from a city dream
In the garden, I am free
Tennessee is holding me
[Post-Chorus]
Let the banjo start to ring
Let the fiddle softly sing
In the holler, I am home
Never more I’ll need to roam
[Outro]
