We are so excited about the fact that our record is coming out tomorrow.
[B] Unless you're here tonight, [Abm] then it comes out tonight.
Yes it does.
[A] We've got the hometown crowd inside [G] Scoops.
And we're very proud that the title of the entire record is Barton Hollow.
Sorry, Barton Holler.
Thank you very much.
I'm working on it.
I'm working on it.
[A]
Holler.
Pillar.
Tomato.
It all makes sense when you start thinking like that.
Right.
[N] But yes, it was very fun.
This is the last song that we ended up writing for the full length.
And it was a bit of a surprise, the creation of it.
But writing as we do often in Nashville,
John Paul started telling me about this place called Barton Holler.
Has anybody been to the actual Barton Holler?
Cool.
One person. My sister.
Sissy.
What happened up there exactly?
What were you doing in Barton Holler, sister?
I know what he was doing up there.
Who do I need to beat up right now?
I heard it was a great place to do homework.
Yes.
Devotionals.
Devotionals.
[E] I read my Bible in Barton Holler.
[D] It felt like that needed a downbeat.
Yeah.
That was very like Johnny Cash review, by the way.
That's all I got. Well, yes.
But we've had great fun.
We call it bringing the swamp to wherever that we go.
And whether it's Leno or Utah or California,
we like [E] bringing the south to wherever we [D] go.
But this is especially fun singing it for you guys tonight, the hometown crowd.
I'm a dead man walking in
That's the least of all my big years
Ooh, I'm in the order
It's not Alabama clay
It's my trembling hands, oh, it is
Ooh, peace will give me fire
I ain't going back to Barton Holler
They ain't gonna find me here
[Bm] Won't do me no good washing in the river
Can't no preacher man say [D] bye
So I'm back, Lord, Lord, who washed my hands?
Oh, that artillery in
Oh, underneath the water
Ooh, peace will give me fire
Miles and miles in white bare feet
Still can't lay me down to sleep
If I die before I wake
[A] And know that I'm [D] so untamed
Oh, I'm running and running [Bb] for my [D] life
Keep walking and running [Bm] and running for [Bb] my life
[D] Keep walking and running and running
[Bb] [D] [A]
[D] I ain't going back to Barton Holler
They ain't gonna find me here
[A]
[N] Won't do me no good washing in the river
Can't no preacher man say bye
So
