These Woods Know My Name

Verse 1

Came up this gravel road in the dead of night

Ridge behind my cabin carved from run and fight

Granddaddy's rifle hanging over the door

These hills been mine longer than your badge and law

Pre-Chorus

You cross that county line

You walk the pine-shade line

Chorus

Stay out of my holler

These are my woods

It's always been me

Versus you for good

Stay out of my holler

Don't test the ridge

The only way you leave

Is the way I give

Verse 2

I seen your headlights flicker past the old fence post

Every inch of forest knows my name the most

Deer trails I was born on where the creek bends low

Ain't nobody writing what they don't already know

Pre-Chorus

You knock on my front gate

You sign your own fate

Chorus

Stay out of my holler

These are my woods

It's always been me

Versus you for good

Stay out of my holler

Don't test the ridge

The only way you leave

Is the way I give

Bridge

Down in the holler

The fog'll swallow

Every witness you bring

Down in the holler

The mud will follow

And cover up everything

Chorus

Stay out of my holler

These are my woods

It's always been me

Versus you for good

Stay out of my holler

Don't test the ridge

The only way you leave

Is the way I give
