About
Crystal in the Holler
Lyrics
Chorus
Oooh, these hills are haunted
Aw naw, methamp-fettameen
Crystal cooking in the holler, where the lantern light is lean
Aaaww...naw...aw...naaww...ah
Hollowed out mines, hollow eyes in the dark
Verse 2
Smoke rising slow from the valley below
Barrels in the moonshine, but hope don’t grow
Skin and bones picking, shadows on the wall
Aw naw, cold wind whistles through it all
Pre-Chorus
Prayers lost in the pines, winter biting through
You can see it in their faces, nothing left to lose
Aww naww, nowhere to run or hide
Chorus
Oooh, these hills are haunted
Aw naw, methamp-fettameen
Crystal cooking in the holler, where the lantern light is lean
Aaaww...naw...aw...naaww...ah
Hollowed out mines, hollow eyes in the dark
Bridge
Mothers praying softly for boys who never came
Fathers walking blacktop, calling out old names
Aww naww, silence heavy in the shed
Ashes in the kettle, something sacred dead
Chorus
Oooh, these hills are haunted
Aw naw, methamp-fettameen
Crystal cooking in the holler, where the lantern light is lean
Aaaww...naw...aw...naaww...ah
Hollowed out mines, hollow eyes in the dark
Outro
Aaaaw naw... ah, crystal cookin' in the hollers
Laawd help us now, laawd help us now
Crystals cookin' in the holler, nobody speaks aloud
Oooh these hills are haunted, aww naww, aww naww
