Whiskey & Moonshine

Whiskey and Moonshine, burnin’ up the road.
Drivin’ on the white lines. Hear the motor moan.
Runnin’ kinda heavy. Pullin’ to the right.
Gotta keep movin’, Got another run tonight
If the law don’t get me, this moon’s gonna shine, shine, shine.

Whiskey and Moonshine, brew it in the hills.
Hide it in the holler. Cover up the stills.
Federal man a-comin’. Might be here tonight.
If he ain’t careful, gonna find himself a fight.
But if the law don’t get me, this moon’s gonna shine, shine, shine.

Never figured I’d end up drivin’ at night, down on my luck
Like my Daddy did when the mills were closin’ down.
But like a page out of history, sometimes I could swear he’s ridin’ with me
On this great big wheel that just keeps on turnin’ round and round.

Copper in the old shed, out behind the barn
Use in times of trouble. Never meant no harm.
Suits from the government, killin’ off the mines.
Now we’re runnin’ out of money and we’re runnin’ out of time.
But if the law don’t get me, this moon’s gonna shine, shine, shine.
But if the law don’t get me, this moon’s gonna shine, shine, shine.
But if the law don’t get me, this moon’s gonna shine, shine, shine.
