about

Hallowed Ground: This song was specifically written a couple of years ago as a tribute for recording at Loretta Lynn’s ranch, which didn’t happen. However, it still applied when I finally got to record it in Nashville.

lyrics

They thought I wouldn’t amount to much
For a time, so did I
Sparked by the coal miner’s daughter’s legacy,
I’ll carry until I die
Always knew I was so much different
When I felt separated in time
Like being trapped in another era
Feeling like I’d lost my mind

Today I stand on hallowed ground
Like I dreamed since I was a girl
My heart was already there
Now my voice, joins legends from before

It all seems so much clearer now
From the place where I stand
Carefully positioned in front of a microphone
Touched by legends’ hands
Music flowing all around me
My eyes so tightly closed
Thinking they stood right here before
And it’s like I’ve come home

Today, I stand on hallowed ground
Like I dreamed since I was a girl
My heart was already there
Now my voice, joins legends from before

Today, I stand on hallowed ground
Like I dreamed since I was a girl
My heart was already there
Now my voice, joins legends from before

This place is surely blessed
At last, I’m set free
Thank you, Miss Loretty
You’ve paved the way for me
