Story behind the song

Written many years ago. 
At the time, I wanted to date a girl with that name and I suspect I wanted her father to disappear. lol

Lyrics

A short sweet story on a tombstone
an old log cabin nearby
face to face with a fireplace
in a dark and dusty room

But who, who shot old man holley 
'cause I knew Holley and he didn't want to die
someone shot old man holley 
and now I'm wondering why

I touched the moss upon the forest
where old man holley lay
I heard his fears and I knew his tears
he's gone but who can say

 chorus
solo
chorus

The wind speaks just below a whisper
As holley crys out his name
It's not quite clear and I can't quite hear
The words of who's to blame
Chorus
end repeat I'm wondering why
