A song about Vilas, NC.

lyrics

Linville Creek
(by Jimmy Davidson)

Down from the Tennessee Valley Divide,
West-northwest on the Tennessee side,
From Bingham Hill and down a piece,
Things are happening on Linville Creek…

A white sky brightens over Grassy Knob,
Apple trees blooming in the morning fog,
Redwing blackbirds beginning to speak--
Things are happening on Linville Creek…

And it’s all downhill from here.
It’s all downhill from here.

Two old-paint horses walking through the mud,
Three cows drinking from an old bathtub,
Tomcat weaving through the summer weeds--
Things are happening on Linville Creek...

Black fence rolling up the side of the road,
Airplane flying from a mailbox post,
Old Christmas trees hitting 25 feet—
Things are happening on Linville Creek…

And it’s all downhill from here.
It’s all downhill from here.

The wind dies down as evening comes,
The hillsides are blinking with lightning bugs
A yellow dog heaves a sigh of relief
Things are happening on Linville Creek…

Dark sky holding up a crescent moon
That’s shining on the footsteps of Daniel Boone.
Stars coming out, people going to sleep--
Things are happening on Linville Creek…

And it’s all downhill from here.
It’s all downhill from here.

about

The Worthless Son-in-Laws Boone, North Carolina

“The songwriting...is through the roof here both melodically and lyrically, bolstered by a band that nails the songs with pinpoint perfection.... The vocal delivery...is rock solid on what can only be deemed one of the most pleasantly surprising releases of the summer. This one rests near the very top of the ‘highly recommended’ list.”
—Bill Hurley, The Alternate Root
