Devil in This Holler
I get here early and I go home late
Lately, what seems like every day
I keep my head up till I stop to pray
At the top of the hill is a sacred place
But down in the valley is where I roam
With these faded memories and half written songs
And just when it seems that nothing else could go wrong
That's when I'm reminded we're not alone
There's a devil in this holler
There's evil in these hills
I'm just trying to make a dollar
Cause I've got to pay my bills
There might be gold on this mountain
But there's fire on the ground
Yeah there's a devil in this holler
But he ain't gonna pull me down
I throw my hand up when I'm driving in
Speak to the ones that ask me how I've been
By the time that I leave I'm tired and in pain
I put the pedal to the floor on my way home to beat the train
I find my pride at the end of the day
My kids and my bride are why I live this way
Hand in hand at the table
Thank God for one more night
If I wake up in the morning I'll be ready for the fight
There's a devil in this holler
There's evil in these hills
I'm just trying to make a dollar cause I've got to pay my bills
There might be gold on this mountain but there's fire on the ground
Yeah there's a devil in this holler but he ain't gonna pull me down
There's a devil in this holler
There's evil in these hills
I'm just trying to make a dollar
Cause I've got to pay my bills
There might be gold on this mountain
But there's fire on the ground
Yeah there's a devil in this holler
But he ain't gonna pull me down
Yeah there's a devil in this holler
But he ain't gonna pull me down
Lately, what seems like every day
I keep my head up till I stop to pray
At the top of the hill is a sacred place
But down in the valley is where I roam
With these faded memories and half written songs
And just when it seems that nothing else could go wrong
That's when I'm reminded we're not alone
There's a devil in this holler
There's evil in these hills
I'm just trying to make a dollar
Cause I've got to pay my bills
There might be gold on this mountain
But there's fire on the ground
Yeah there's a devil in this holler
But he ain't gonna pull me down

Cause I've got to pay my bills
There might be gold on this mountain
But there's fire on the ground
Yeah there's a devil in this holler
But he ain't gonna pull me down
Yeah there's a devil in this holler
But he ain't gonna pull me down
