Lillie’s Son

[Pre-Chorus]
She sang old hymns in a one-room night,
Voice like a lantern cutting through the fight.
Said, “Play that guitar, let the truth come through,”
And every chord I hit was a piece of what she knew.

[Chorus]
I’m Lillie’s son, carved from the struggle,
Raised in the shadow of a world that’d smuggle
Your hope, your pride, your name if you let it.
But she taught me strength, and I won’t forget it.
From the Black River nights to the hard day’s run,
Every note I play says, “I’m Lillie’s son.”

[Verse 2]
She faced down hunger, she faced down shame,
Carried our story without chasing fame.
Said, “Don’t bow down when the world gets loud,”
So I turned my amp up, made my mother proud.
Distorted truth in a tremolo cry,
A sound born from the tears she’d never let dry.

[Pre-Chorus]
She kept the faith when the times got lean,
Held our family together like a living machine.
Said, “Make your noise, boy, shake the ground,”
So I cut that chord that shook the whole world down.

[Bridge]
She said, “Don’t fear the dark, don’t fear the fight,
There’s a fire in you, boy, let it burn bright.”
So I took that fire, turned it into sound,
A Shawnee heartbeat shaking the ground.

[Final Chorus]
I’m Lillie’s son, and the world can hear it—
Every riff I play has her ghost in the spirit.
She gave me grit, she gave me soul,
She gave me the courage to lose control.
From the Carolina dust to the last song done,
Every breath I take says, “I’m Lillie’s son.”

[Outro]
Yeah… Lillie’s son,
Still walking in the light she shone.

[Verse 1] She was born in the Carolina dust, Lillie with the backbone, Lillie with the trust. Worked those long days, hands cracked thin, Held the whole world up with a quiet grin. Told me, “Boy, this life won’t treat you fair,” But she brushed the dirt off, tied back her hair. [Pre-Chorus] She sang old hymns in a one-room night, Voice like a lantern cutting through the fight. Said, “Play that guitar, let the truth come through,” And every chord I hit was a piece of what she knew.
