Snow crunchin’ under ol’ Nova's hooves

Wake up early, grab that flannel
Chop some wood, light up the mantle
Smoke curls sweet from the chimney wide
It’s a holler Christmas, come on inside

Holler bells ring down the lane
Kids slidin’ wild in candy cane trains
Grandpa’s whistlin’ "Jingle Bell Rock"
While the hens wear bows and the barn gets flocked
Ain’t no silence in these hills today
Just Christmas love in a country way
Let your yule-tide banjo swing
When them holler bells ring!

Nephew Jake brought fireworks loud
And Mom made fudge to feed a crowd
Trucks parked crooked in the snowy yard
Where the dogs wear sweaters and the laughs come hard

Holler bells ring, stomp them boots
Singin’ carols in our muddy suits
The tree’s lit up with popcorn strings
And joy breaks loose like church bell rings
From Dayton down to Cincy Bay
We light it up the Southern way
With pies and hams and joy we bring
When them holler bells ring!

Pass that pie, pour some cheer
Ain’t no strangers gathered here
Raise that cup to the winter sky
And let that fiddle testify!

Holler bells ring through the night
Lighting up stars in the snowfield white
Front porch pickin’ ‘neath mistletoe
While the firepit flickers and the cider flows
Santa’s ridin’ with a rebel grin
‘Cause down here, he fits right in
We make the hills and valleys sing
When them holler bells ring!
