Lyrics
Dark phonk 808 intro, no drums
Hoedown, hoedown, whatcha gonna do?
Run from the holler 'fore the dead come too
Watch out, watch out, walkin' through
You don't want a piece of me, I'll make you go boo-hoo
Hoedown, hoedown, whatcha gonna do?
Run from the holler 'fore the dead come too
Verse 1 — groove metal riffs kick in, stomping kick drums, nu-metal bass drop
I been up in these woods since before your daddy's name
Ain't a soul in this county that don't know my claim
Got the holler knockin' and the devil hollerin' loud
I don't answer to nobody, don't belong to no crowd
They said don't go past the treeline when the fog hangs low
I put the fog there, baby — that's my welcome show
Come on in if you're stupid, come on in if you're brave
Just know I'm the reason that the last one misbehaved
Pre-Chorus 1 — tension build, menacing low-end rumble creeping in
You can feel it in your chest now
You can feel it in your legs
Somethin' wicked's got its eye on you
And it don't take no begs
Chorus 1 — full metalcore fury, aggressive snare, down-tuned guitars crushing
Hoedown in the hollow, devil's on the porch
Hit so filthy it's a four-alarm torch
Don't you try to bargain, don't you try to pray
I'm the king of this hollow and you're already my prey
Hoedown!
Drop — metalcore breakdown, dark phonk 808 bass, double kick thundering
(Get low — stay low)
(Hollow don't let go)
(Too slow — I know)
You came in on your own, now you reap what you sow
Verse 2 — nu-metal swagger, gritty overdriven guitars, half swaggering half sinister
I don't need a weapon, I just need the night
I don't need a reason 'cause I'm always right
Got a rebel in my throat and vengeance on my tongue
Every fool who crossed me left here less than young
They write songs 'bout places they ain't brave enough to go
I live in that place, boy, I put on the show
So bring your little friends and bring your little nerve
I'll be on the porch when y'all lose what you deserve
Pre-Chorus 2 — menacing low-end rumble screaming underneath
You can feel it in your chest now
You can feel it in your legs
Somethin' wicked's got its eye on you
And honey, it don't beg
Chorus 2 — full metalcore fury, rebel yell mid-way
Hoedown in the hollow, devil's on the porch
Hit so filthy it's a four-alarm torch
Don't you try to bargain, don't you try to pray
I'm the king of this hollow and you're already my prey
Hoedown!
Bridge/Breakdown — half-time, stomping kick drums only, cold and slow
Nobody comes to the hollow by accident
Nobody leaves the hollow by choice
You think you found your way in, little wanderer?
Nah, baby — I heard your voice
I always hear the voice
Final Chorus — thunderous double kick, everything erupts, crushing groove metal riffs
Hoedown in the hollow, devil's on the porch
Hit so filthy it's a four-alarm torch
Don't you try to bargain, don't you try to pray
I'm the king of this hollow and you're already my prey
Can't outrun it, can't outfox it, hollow's in your veins now
Hoedown!
Outro — gritty overdriven guitars fade, lone dark phonk 808 pulse, menacing
Hoedown, hoedown, whatcha gonna do?
Run from the holler 'fore the dead come too
...too late, honey
