Moonshine Run

About a half a mile down that river road

 Just across the bridge where the preacher don’t go

 There’s a field of corn standing six feet tall

 Put it in a jar before the first snow falls

 That river bridge cuts the town in two

 Between the common day sinners and the chosen few

 When the moonlight’s pale on the first cold night

 I make my way over to the other side

 Don’t let ‘em catch you haulin’ shine if you know what’s best

 Or Sunday morning find you in jail with your name on a prayer request

 Keep your foot hard on the pedal and your hand close to the gun

 Hear me roarin’ down the valley on a moonshine run

 Well, the Lord knows all, even what you hide

 But the devil’s going to give you one hell of a ride

 The Methodist wave makes the Baptist shiver

 But you’re gonna see ‘em both down at the river

 Don’t let ‘em catch you buyin’ shine if you know what’s best

 Or Sunday morning find you in jail with your name on a prayer request

 Keep your foot hard on the pedal and your hand close to the gun

 Hear me roarin’ down the valley on a moonshine run

 Well, that ole river rolls muddy and deep

 And the law won’t find what all it keeps

 Shotguns, bodies, rusty Chevrolets

 They’re all at the bottom and there they’ll stay

 Don’t let ‘em catch you haulin’ shine if you know what’s best

 Or Sunday morning find you in jail with your name on a prayer request

 Keep your foot hard on the pedal and your hand close to the gun

 Hear me roarin’ down the valley on a moonshine run

 Hear me roaring down the valley on a moonshine run
