Mountain Dew

Granddaddy came from the mountains

Whereabouts still unknown

Wasn’t too big on talking

So when he did you’d listen close

The day I turned 18

Said there’s a few things you should know

In the eyes of the law you’re a man now

So don’t go too far down backroads

There’s something ‘bout small batch whiskey

Makes good folks lose their mind

But no double aged, handmade barrel from Kentucky

Ever made a poor boy go blind

Those Smokey mountain, rednecking, white lightning, shine runners

Are always gonna lie to you

Son the devil's blood is made of clear corn liquor

And they callin’ it Mountain Dew

Said cousin Bobby drove the truck off the mountain

Tryna outrun blue lights

His older brother got greedy tryna steal from Mike McCreedy

Ended up on the wrong end of a gunfight

There’s something ‘bout small batch whiskey

Makes good folks lose their mind

But no double aged, handmade barrel from Kentucky

Ever made a poor boy go blind

Those Smokey mountain, rednecking, white lightning, shine runners

Are always gonna lie to you

Son the devil's blood is made of clear corn liquor

And they callin’ it Mountain Dew

Said there’s a judge in the county named Johnson

Used to run with me back in the day

So if in his jurisdiction little corn goes missing

He’ll probably look the other way

There’s something ‘bout small batch whiskey

Makes good folks lose their mind

But no double aged, handmade barrel from Kentucky

Ever made a poor boy go blind

Those Smokey mountain, rednecking, white lightning, shine runners

Sometimes tell the truth

There’s a mountain full of money running moonshine buddy that’s why they callin’ it

Mountain Dew
