lyrics

Well seems all my kin love hickory on a fire
Smell of hickory on the wind
A mountain still and a three-legged dog
Pale full moon and the chorus of the frogs

They said it was a roll of the dice
But it sure don’t feel like a calamitous night
Just cool mountain air
Ain’t a badge in sight
Oh but something just don’t seem right

Come on now lets get going pops
We’re being stalked by the cops
Forget about the mash you got cookin in the pot
Gotta leave before they catch on
Whoa

I hear the folks are sayin
The law is layin in wait
There’s a long-toothed sherriff waitin to sink his teeth
Into moonshine prey
And we’re racin the dawn
Down the hill a meadowlark is singin a song
This batch we’re cookin’s sure comin along
Oh but somethin just feels all wrong

So come on now lets get going pops
We’re being stalked by the cops
He said I can’t go mash is cookin the pot
Can’t leave with a batch on
Whoa

This works a little unnervin
I might wind up servin
Time in the state pen for cookin white whiskey and bourbon

A smug county sheriff with a star on his chest hollered from the trees
“You’re under arrest
Stop what you’re doin
Hands above your heads
I’ve come to take you away”

Drawn to the bottle
Cause of my corn liquor roots
I got a hand-me-down taste
For a hundred and twenty proof

Let’s go

I’ll say this much, my name’s on the line
Gotta make this run on time, on time
I’ll keep this up while the moon doth shine
There ain’t no one can make a drink good as mine

So go on, fight some real crime
Nothin bad here, only liquor so fine
From my daddy’s daddy’s daddy
Down a long, long line
So pure and strong

And I won’t disgrace my pops
By leavin the mash burn in the pot
Sure as hell ain’t listenin to no panty waist cop
And I ain’t leavin with a batch on”

This works a little unnervin
I might wind up servin
Time in the state pen for cookin white whiskey and bourbon

This works a little unnervin
I might wind up servin
Time in the state pen for cookin white whiskey and bourbon
Time in the state pen for cookin white whiskey and bourbon
