"Moonshiners" lyrics
"Moonshiners"
Where were you when the saw mill burned?
I was out fighting with my grandpa's gun
They can follow me as best they can
But I can run quicker when there is no sun
Shine on
Shine on
Shine on
Shine on
Yeah the government of this state
Ain't the only way that the sherrif gets paid
You can try to hide who you are
But they'll see straight through your charade
Shine on
Shine on
Shine on
Shine on
Where do the hound dogs eat
When the people are frail?
Where does the smoke from your lungs go
Once you exhale?
What do the cockroaches do
With no one 'round?
They live like the moonshiners
Half underground
Yes it was me that burned it down
To confound everyone and make it well known
That after 33 years of this
I've got a government of my own
Shine on
Shine on
Shine on
Shine on
Where do the hound dogs eat
When the people are frail?
Where does the smoke from your lungs go
Once you exhale?
What do the cockroaches do
With no one 'round?
They live like the moonshiners
Half underground

He pitched us a sale about healing and oil from a snake
The barkeep, he warned him, but the man did not comprehend
How strangers 'round here...
The SteelDrivers - "The Bartender" He comes here to drown out the ghost of her goodbye
Lookin' for redemption in his Jameson on ice

Let me tell where you're bound
Drink your green liquor

Justin Townes Earle - "Ain't Got No Money" I ain't got no money, baby
Give me some money
Don't want your honey
