Devil in This Holler Songtext
von The Steel Woods

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
