Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Back in the hills where the woods get thick
Brewing shine in the still, growing smoke in the ditch
It's a different way of life, but it is what it is
You're either poor when you die or fire-water-rich
[PreChorus]
Call us backwoods or backwards
[Chorus]
We got white lighting running through our veins
And we'll die trying to save our family name
Where whippoorwills will, the coyotes cry
Way back in the holler where the Moonshines
[Verse 2]
I didn't choose this life, this life chose me
There's copper line where my roots run deep
Five generations of livin' like this
I'm a hand-me-down boot leggin' son of a bitch
[Chorus]
We got white lighting running through our veins
And we'll die trying to save our family name
Where whippoorwills will, and the coyotes cry
Way back in the holler where the Moonshines
[Bridge]
Backwoods, Backwards
[Bridge]
Call us backwoods or backwards
But none of that matters
[Chorus]
'Cause we got white lighting running through our veins
And we'll die trying to save our family name
Where the whippoorwills will and them coyotes cry
Way back in the holler in the holler in the holler
[Chorus]
We got white lighting running through our veins
And we'll die trying to save our family name
Where whippoorwills will and them coyotes cry
Way back in the holler where the Moonshine
Burns as bright as a bonfire flame
In my genes, like an old grease stain
It'll be that way till the day I die
Way back in the holler where the Moonshines
Where the Moonshines
