Vampire in the Holler

Lyrics

(Verse 1) Moonlight on the backroads, gravel crunchin' under tires Old barn standin' lonesome where the shadows catch on fire She said her name was Darlene, skin pale as Georgia clay Moved into that haunted farmhouse back in early May Says she only comes alive when the sun goes down Got a smile like sweet tea but it hides a darker crown (Chorus) He's a vampire in the holler, drinkin' whiskey mixed with blood Two-steppin' through the graveyard, kickin' up that red mud Fangs flashin' in the firelight, long hair fallin' free Lord, this undead cowboy's got a hold on me Yeah, he loves me in the darkness, till the morning light Vampire in the holler... but he holds me tight (Verse 2) We dance on broken tombstones, boots clickin' to the beat He tells me 'bout the Civil War like it happened last week Says forever ain't forever if you're scared of the sun But one bite from his cold lips and we'd both be on the run I keep a cross in my pocket and garlic in the truck But when he pulls me closer, Lord, I don't give a... (Chorus) He's a vampire in the holler, drinkin' whiskey mixed with blood Two-steppin' through the graveyard, kickin' up that red mud Fangs flashin' in the firelight, long hair fallin' free Lord, this undead cowboy's got a hold on me Yeah, he loves me in the darkness, till the morning light Vampire in the holler... but he holds me tight (Bridge) Mama warned me 'bout them city boys with silver tongues But nobody said nothin' 'bout the ones with silver fangs Stake through the heart or a bullet made of gold Either way I'm losin' him when the night gets old (Final Chorus) (slower, softer) He's a vampire in the holler, and I'm fallin' deeper still Trade my soul for one more midnight on that old windin' hill When the rooster crows at daybreak, he'll be gone without a sound But I'll be waitin' by the window when the sun goes back down... Yeah, my vampire in the holler... come love me right.
