Lyrics

MOONSHINE

ONE BAD MOVE LED TO FIVE BAD YEARS
LED TO STANDING IN A EMPTY FIELD HOLDING BACK THE TEARS
A LIFETIME OF WORK MEANT NOTHING AT ALL
AND THE PEOPLE WHO COULD LIFT ME UP WOULD RATHER WATCH ME FALL

OH WHATS A MAN TO DO
WHEN HES STRETCHED TO FAR
THE BANK ACCOUNTS ARE EMPTY
AND THERE’S NOTHING IN THE BARN
BUT MOONSHINE
DEALER WANTS THE CAR. BANKER WANTS THE FARM. GOTTA GET IT BACK SOMEHOW
MOONSHINE
I CAN FEEL ME FALL APART. YOU KNOW IT BREAKS MY HEART TO SEE NOTHIN IN THE BARN BUT
MOONSHINE

GRAND DADDY TOLD ME STORIES WHEN I WAS A KID.
BOUT HOW HIS DADDY SAVED THIS FARM IN 1926
WITH A SOUPED UP CAR AND A RED HOT STILL
SAID HE HAD TO BREAK THE LAW BECAUSE HE HAD TO PAY THE BILLS

OH WHATS A MAN TO DO
WHEN HES STRETCHED TO FAR
THE BANK ACCOUNTS ARE EMPTY
AND THERE’S NOTHING IN THE BARN
BUT MOONSHINE
DEALER WANTS THE CAR. BANKER WANTS THE FARM. GOTTA GET IT BACK SOMEHOW
MOONSHINE
I CAN FEEL ME FALL APART. YOU KNOW IT BREAKS MY HEART TO SEE NOTHIN IN THE BARN BUT
MOONSHINE

MAYBE GRANPA WAS RIGHT
MAYBE ALL I NEED
IS THE NERVE TO BREAK THE LAW
AND DIFFERENT KIND OF SEED
AND MOONSHINE.

GOT DEALERS OF MY OWN
MY BANKERS ALWAYS STONED
AND THE SHERIFF IS A FRIEND OF MINE
MOONSHINE
IN THE SUN I WATCH IT GROW
AT NIGHT I SWEAR IT GLOWS
UNDER THE
MOONSHINE...
