"Georgia Peaches" lyrics

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

After ten years in the pen
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
Wash away 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 ageing
I bought my kids an education
So they could lead a better life than mine
Thanks to those methamphetamines
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
