about

Had a few days off between shows in West Virginia one summer and hiked up to a waterfall. Reminded me of a place back home called Parchcorn Holler that has a beautiful waterfall. Just gave me a peaceful feeling that everything was gonna be alright, and I went back to my room and wrote this tune.

lyrics

PARCHCORN FALLS
 
I’m gonna make it after all
I’m gonna get up but it was a damn hard fall
And baby you can take it with you when you leave
It was something I never really liked anyways about me
 
Chorus:
And I’ve been driving all night long
And I’m so tired of throwing stones
Baby do you think we could take a nice long walk
Down on Parchcorn Falls
Down on Parchcorn Falls
 
There’s a hummingbird on my windowsill
And there’s a humming ringing between my ears
There ain’t a cloud up in the sky
And there ain’t a doubt down in this heart of mine
 
Chorus
 
There’s a time and a season
Feels so right for no rhyme or reason
And I’ve been thinking you and I could steal a little time
For walking in our bare feet down by that cool creek side
 
Chorus
 
Oh Baby let’s walk
Please baby out on Parchcorn Falls
Oh Baby let’s walk
Please baby down on Parchcorn Falls

Down on Parchcorn Falls
Down on Parchcorn Falls
Down on Parchcorn Falls
