lyrics

She woke up, it was a dogwood morning
She ran down the back of the ridge
Saw him standing there by the creekbed
Looking like an angel
Daddy always said, "Stay away from them lowlanders
They don’t know what it’s like in these hills."
But daddy went down into a coal mine
And never came back around

Oh my mama, can you hear?
The hills and the hollers call for you
The hills and the hollers call for you
Where your heart used to wander
Where your feet used to roam
Oh, the hills and the hollers are callin' ya home

Few years later, few more mouths to feed
She’s in love and she’s in deep
But when he came back from Vietnam
The deeper the bottle, the better
But babies get older, get bigger, get bitter
And now they ask her why she stays
There isn’t an answer, only a sigh
A vacant look into the past

My mama, can you hear?
The hills and the hollers call for you
The hills and the hollers call for you
Where your heart used to wander
Where your feet used to roam
Oh, the hills and the hollers are callin' ya home

She showed me the graveyard, showed me the old house
Last spring when I went to see her
And I saw a light I’d never seen before
While we wound our way through memories
She said, "Baby, baby
Look at me
And when ya run without your shoes on,
Never forget where you came from."

Can you hear
The hills and the hollers call for you
The hills and the hollers call for you
Where your heart used to wander
Where your feet used to roam
Oh, the hills and the hollers are callin' ya home
