Deeper Than the Holler
Written by - Don Schlitz & Paul Overstreet
From - Old 8 X 10
I've heard those city singers singin'
'Bout how they can love
Deeper than the ocean
Higher than the stars above

Well, I come from the country
And I know I ain't seen it all
But I've heard that ocean's salty
And the stars, they sometimes fall

And that would not do justice
To the way I feel for you
So I had to sing a song
About all the things I knew...

My love is
Deeper than the holler
Stronger than the river
Higher than the pine trees
Growin' tall upon the hill
My love is
Purer than the snow flakes
That fall in late December
And honest as a robin on a springtime windowsill
And longer than the song of a whippoorwill...

From the back roads to the Broadway shows
With a million miles between
There's at least a million love songs
That people love to sing

And every one is different
And every one's the same
And this is just another way
Of saying the same thing

My love is
Deeper than the holler
Stronger than the river
Higher than the pine trees
Growin' tall upon the hill
My love is
Purer than the snow flakes
That fall in late December
And honest as a robin on a springtime windowsill
And longer than the song of a whippoorwill...

My love is
Deeper than the holler
Stronger than the river
Higher than the pine trees
Growin' tall upon the hill
My love is
Purer than the snow flakes
That fall in late December
And honest as a robin on a springtime windowsill
And longer than the song of a whippoorwill...

A whippoorwill...
