Boot heel tapping on a weathered board—

Heart keeps time when the road gets steep,
There's a whole lot of living in the Holler Heartbeat.

Porch Light Rise.
[Play: Eadd9 C#m7 Aadd9 Bsus4 B7]

Lift your eyes past the fading night,
There's a welcome waiting in the porch light.

The Holler Roll-Up.
[Female spoken]
And he surely would!

Let the big world hurry, let the little wheels roll,
Room for a ramble and a song for the soul.

[Female spoken]
The Holler Lantern Turn.
[Play: G6 Bbmaj7 Cadd9 Cm6 G/D E7 A7 D7 G6]

I can hear somebody call.
[Duet sung]
Keep that lantern where it burns,
Love will meet us at the turn.

The Holler Open Door Turn.
[Play: Gadd9 D/F# Fmaj7 C/E Ebmaj7 G/D A7 Cm6 G6]
[Male sung]
I carried more than I could hold—
[Female sung]
Set it down, let the story unfold.
[Duet sung]
One slow breath and a little room,
An open door on an afternoon.

[6: Holler Side-Step]
[Female spoken]
The Holler Side-Step!
[Male spoken]
Give it some elbow room!
[Play: G6 G13sus4 C9 Cm6 G6]
[Female sung]
Slide that chair and mind your cup—

Here comes joy just stepping up!
[Duet sung]
Side-step sorrow, let your shoulders swing,
Room on this porch for the hope you bring.

[7: Holler Creekstone Walk]
[Male spoken]
The Holler Creekstone Walk.
[Play: D6 F#7 Bm7 Gmaj7 E9 A13 D6]

One flat stone and another ahead—

Watch where you're going, hear what's been said.
[Duet sung]
Step by step across that stream,
Little things carry a mighty big dream.

[8: Holler Copper Sunrise]

Copper Sunrise.
[Play: Cadd9 E7 Am9 Fmaj7 Dm9 G13 C6/9]

Copper light on the coffee tin—

Another morning comes walking in.
[Duet sung]
We've got breath and a song to try,
Thank You, Lord, for another sunrise.

[Male spoken]
The Holler Mountain Echo.
[Play: Em9 Cmaj7 G6/B Am7 F#7 B7sus4 B7 Em9]
[Male sung]
Sent a question across that hill—
[Female sung]
Then I sat and listened still.
[Duet sung]
Through the valley, soft and slow,
There's a song in the mountain echo.

[10: Holler Screen Door Swing]

The Holler Screen Door Swing!
[Male spoken]
Otis, let that piano explain it!
[Play: A6 C#dim7 D9 D#dim7 A/E F#7 B9 E13 A6]

Screen door singing on a rusty spring—

Even that hinge wants to join this thing!
[Duet sung]
Pass that tune and let it ring,
Everybody's welcome at the Screen Door Swing.

I don't have to win today—

I can listen, I can pray.
[Duet sung]
Where the hard road starts to bend,
Let a little mercy in.

[12: Holler All Is Well]
[Female spoken]
The Holler All Is Well.
[Male spoken]
Play it once.
[Play: C6/9 Abmaj7 Bb6 C/G A7 Dm9 G13sus4 C6/9]
[Male sung]
The sun goes down, the porch light glows—
[Female sung]
We don't know every turn this old road holds.
[Duet sung]
But here's my hand, and here we dwell,
One more song, and all is well.

[Final chorus: close male and female harmony]
Play a little, sing a little,
Leave some room between.
Hear that old piano talking,
Hear those silver strings.
Twelve little roads, one welcome home,
A story only we can tell.
Like ninety going north, with the porch light on—
And all is well.

[Instrumental: repeat final progression, harmonica and female humming trade]
[Male spoken]
Twelve roads, Darlene.
[Female spoken]
Every one brought us back to the porch.
[Male spoken]
I'm just asking questions—

[Female spoken]
And letting the music answer.
[Duet softly sung]
All is well.
[Final C6/9 rings]
