Georgia Peaches

Georgia Peaches, Georgia Peaches

They'll tear you all to pieces

Once you run 'em through that copper line

Their burning down the county, still ain't nobody found me

They're looking for that man that's been runnin' shine

Well, my ends they've been meeting lately

Bought new shoes for my babies

Yeah, the fruits of my labor, they've been doing fine

And I'd make me an honest living

If any boss round here was willing to take on a man that's taken another's life

Now, after ten years in the pen, Lord, I'm doing the best that I can

Trying to provide for my kids and wife

And every lawman in every town Lord they all been looking 'round

They're still trying to find that man that's been running shine

They still trying to find that man that's been running shine

Well, that offering plate on Sunday's been getting kinda deep

Since we changed up the brand of communion wine

Everybody starts praising Jesus once they taste some of them peaches

Washaway all their sins and strife

And after ten years in the pen, Lord, I'm doing the best I can

Trying to provide for my kids and wife

Every lawman in every town Lord they all been looking around

They're still trying to find that man that's been running shine

They're still trying to find that man that's been running shine

As an old man now, I'm age-'in

I bought my kids an education

So they could lead a better life than mine

Thanks to those meth amphetamines

They ain't nobody worried about me

They forgot all about the man that was running shine

And after ten years in the pen, Lord, I'm doing the best that I can

Trying to provide for my kids and wife

Every lawman in every town lord they all been looking 'round

They can't find that old man that was running shine

They ain't never gonna find the man that was running shine

Lord, I'm still the old man that was running shine, yes, I know
