I was born in the head of a holler
Where my mama taught me right
Where I first heard about Jesus
And the stars, they shine so bright
Some folks say that that ain't living
That you gotta see those city lights
Well I've seen 'em son and if you're asking
Can't no man outdo what God made right
This is where I'm from
This is where I'll die
You'd understand if you've seen the Kentucky sky
Don't try to change my mind
No there ain't no need to bother
'Cause it's in my blood and I'll always be
From the head of a holler
There've been times I've been ashamed of it
Even taught myself how to talk without that twang
But I was younger then, I've learned a bit since then son
Ain't nothing better than the trickle of a creek
And the whistle of a train
This is where I'm from
This is where I'll die
You'd understand if you've seen the Kentucky sky
Don't try to change my mind
No there ain't no need to bother
'Cause it's in my blood and I'll always be
From the head of a holler
This is where I'm from
This is where I'll die
You'd understand if you've seen the Kentucky sky
Don't try to change my mind
No there ain't no need to bother
'Cause it's in my blood and I'll always be
From the head of a holler
