Liquid Gold

We came from the mountains, way beyond on the hollers and the hills
They say we made our money from corn liquor from the hidden stills
But the law men couldn’t find, we were hiding in plain sight
The G-men walking all around, they were looking for a fight.


Once nighttime had fallen, we slipped out from the hollow of the tree
We’d grabbed the jugs of liquid gold, made off that mountain quiet as a breeze
The feds were heading south, so we made our way to town
For a silver dollar and a little luck, you could drink that whiskey down

Chorus:
Liquid gold and Mountain Fury
Wrecked the lives of many men and women in a hurry
Liquid gold and Mountain Fury
It’ll be the last thing you take down

Instrumental verse

The sheriff had men a-waiting, by the stables and both ends of the town
We didn’t tie our horses, just let the reins hang down to the ground
As the deputies came out, shots rang all about
They cut us off, nowhere to run, we died there in that town

Chorus

Bootleggers died, and the women cried
I’ll tell the story from the other side

Liquid gold and Mountain Fury
Wreck the lives of many men and women in a hurry
Liquid gold and Mountain Fury
It’ll be the last thing you take down
It’ll be the last thing you take down
