00:00 / 00:00
Lyrics
[Intro – strummed acoustic guitar, soft fiddle hum]
Red dirt roads and firefly glow
Cincinnati hills where we call home
[Verse 1 – fingerpicked acoustic, gentle harmonica riff]
We got a pickup truck with a rusted tailgate
Porch swing swayin' to a country tape
Mama’s cookin’ beans on the wood stove flame
Daddy’s tellin’ stories ’bout the old coal train
[Pre-Chorus – building fiddle, light snare tap]
We don’t need no city lights to shine
Got our own kind of magic in this county line
[Chorus 1 – full band, foot-stomping rhythm, soaring fiddle]
We’re the Cincinnati Hillbillys, wild and free
Singin’ old songs under the oak tree
Whiskey in a mason jar, stars above
This is where we live, this is where we love
[Interlude – fiddle solo, bouncy acoustic strum]
(Instrumental Solo)
[Verse 2 – banjo addition, steady bass line]
Saturday nights we dance in the barn
Boots scuffin’ floors till the break of dawn
Preacher man says we’re a little too loud
But we just laugh and pass the jug around
[Pre-Chorus 2 – layered harmonies, tighter snare]
We don’t care ’bout what the city folks say
We got our own little piece of heaven today
[Chorus 2 – amplified vocals, harmonica solo break]
We’re the Cincinnati Hillbillys, rough and true
Raisin’ hell with the ones we knew
Moonlight on the cornfield, wind in our hair
Ain’t no place on earth we’d rather be there
[Bridge – stripped-back acoustic, soft harmonies]
We’ve got scars on our hands and dirt on our boots
Got a love for this land that we can’t lose
When the world gets too loud, we come on home
To the Cincinnati hills where we belong
[Final Chorus – full band with call-and-response, maximum energy]
We’re the Cincinnati Hillbillys, proud and strong
Singin’ our songs all night long
Dogs barkin’ at the midnight moon
This is our home, this is our tune
[Outro – fading acoustic guitar, final fiddle note]
Red dirt roads and firefly glow
Cincinnati hills where we call home
