Wake the Holler (Every Sunday at Three)

+ Show full styles

V5.5

[Warm-up Intro]
[AM radio static, dial tuning, lonesome banjo roll, far-off rooster crow]
(rise up, rise up)
[clock-tower bell, three strikes]

[Intro]
[gravelly drawl, dry, up front]
Sun comes up over the sleepy town,
Hal's voice risin', gonna shake it down.
[banjo roll]
(wake up now)

[Verse 1]
[half-time, laid in the pocket]
Word travels quick where the pines grow tall,
One honest voice gonna reach 'em all.
From the gravel road to the courthouse square,
Truth on the wind, feel it everywhere.
They kept you sleepin' with a lullaby lie,
Hal pulls the curtain, lets the daylight fly.
Rub your eyes, brother, shake off the dust,
Stand on your own two feet, in the truth we trust.
(preach it)

[Pre-Chorus]
[building, foot stomps]
When the mornin' breaks and the free folk rise,
One clear signal cuttin' through the skies.

[Chorus]
[big gang vocal, banjo and 808]
Wake the holler, let the whole world hear,
Hal's voice ringin', loud and clear.
Behind the woodshed, (take your stand!)
Word's gon' travel all across the land.

[Verse 2]
He names the wrong and he won't back down,
Loudest honest voice in a sleepin' town.
[clock-tower bell, three strikes]
Three o'clock strikes and the message flies,
Truth on the airwaves, no compromise.
Neighbor tell a neighbor, pass it down the line,
Everybody welcome, come and hear it shine.
Ain't about a fist, it's about a mind,
Open up your eyes and you'll never go blind.
(that's right)

[Chant Break]
[beat strips to stomps, claps, and banjo]
Behind the Woodshed! (stomp, stomp, clap)
Behind the Woodshed! (stomp, stomp, clap)
Wake up, holler, take your stand,
Truth ringin' out across the land!
[808 slams back]

[Bridge]
[static clears, organ swell, preacher cadence]
Through the static, the beacon lights the dawn,
One by one, gonna carry it on.
Rise and gather, let the reckoning ring,
When the holler wakes, hear the freedom sing.

[Verse 3]
Mark your calendar, tell a friend to tune in too,
Three o'clock Sunday, the woodshed comin' through.
He won't be bought and he won't be sold,
Speakin' up brave where the others fold.
Every hill and holler gonna hear the sound,
Sleepy little towns gonna turn around.
Subscribe, hit play when the true word rings,
Wake the holler, hear the freedom it brings.

[Chant Break]
[stomps and claps]
Behind the Woodshed! (stomp, stomp, clap)
Behind the Woodshed! (stomp, stomp, clap)

[Outro]
[fading banjo, radio static returns, dial tuning out]
When the night rolls in and the town's awake,
Hal's still ringin' for the truth's own sake.
Wake it once, it stays awake for more,
Every Sunday at three, come back for more.
(tune in, tune in)
