Lyrics

"MOONSHINE RUNNER" It's been a long, hot summer, the creeks all runnin' dry If we don't get some rain real soon, our crops are gonna die We can't afford to lose this farm, with all these mouths to feed Our last resort is goin' back to Grandpa's recipe CHORUS He was a moonshine runner, lawmen at his heel Moonshine runner, that man was hell on wheels Pure white lightnin', he made the best around Home made whiskey, it never let him down END CHORUS I used to stand there watchin' him, when I was just a kid He always had that half a grin, and seemed proud of what he did He'd take his time with every batch, he never spilled a drop Grandma always cursed at him, but he could never stop REPEAT CHORUS I remember now and then, he'd drink himself to sleep An empty shot glass in his hand, and bottle at his feet He swore to give it up someday, shut down the still for good But he drank himself to death one night, like Grandma said he would He was a moonshine runner, lawmen at his heel Moonshine runner, that man was hell on wheels Pure white lightnin', he made the best around Home made whiskey, it put him in the ground.....
