Mt. Shine, the hillbilly song
Godfather.

In the early morning air
you could really hear that engine rumble
as we loaded the trunk with shine
Daddy said they might be looking for us tonight
said he saw the revenue man in town a week ago
and we can't miss this time.
Six kids with momma and daddy on the mountain
there ain't to many jobs to be found
running shine kept food on the table
it kept us alive
we called it mountain shine.
late at night you could hear the old Ford flyin down the long dirt road
daddy was a runnin he had the peddle on the floor
a flat head 8 and triple deuces made the those straight pipes roar.
daddy had stills along the blue ridge line
making mountain shine filling mason jars one drop at a time
Momma worked hard trying to keep us in line
She told us never take a liken to that ol' mountain shine.
on my sixteenth birthday Daddy taught me how to drive
and bought me a car to run mountain shine.
She was long and fast
and had four doors
We worked all night putting in a hollow floor
My first delivery was the general store
around back we emptied her floor.
And daddy said son look out for the revenue man
he's out to catch us
He'll get us if he can.
Well the revenue man came up in the rear view mirror
and I put her to the floor and turned down the old hallows road
where daddy was waiting with a friend
I never did see that revenue man again.
She was long and fast
and had four doors
We worked all night putting in a hollow floor

Godfather.
lakeside california... that does sound like a good party... i should quit pissin about and get there already... i ain't ever tried this white lightning situation... whiskey ?? vodka? can't do vodka... i do like good whiskey.... hell I'd down anythin if it'd knock my d--- in the dirt... not sure i know how it goes but it sounds like quite the fucker...
i've smelled it
there are not many mind/mood alterations that scare me
and at one time or another i have not experienced
have endured all
but even when i was far more
"hard core"
white lightening never passed my lips
brrrrrrr
"what a long, strange trip it's been"
Just a high octane alcohol, it's not measured by proof it measured by percentage ha ha ha, I've seen a few rookies fall flat on their azz trying to impress their friends, it's been a loooong time but I still remember.
Godfather.
Liquor,clear as water.
My brother (6'1" and 250 lbs) drank just a mayones lid of it at a party and seconds later lost his legs and fell flat on his azz.
Godfather.
I haven't had a drink in years of anything, it might put my d---back in the dirt
Godfather.
your bro is 6 foot 1 and 250 lbs... I weigh about a 112 lbs and am 5 foot 9 or so... imagine how I'd go down... i gotta get me some of this shit... d--- in the dirt's the way to go
TIMBER !!!!!
Godfather.

and fuck, i'd buy the drink too
"what a long, strange trip it's been"

after all the shit... hash... is best ... natural
Makes his own wine, sells beer, heavy mark up, and makes moonshine. Cops look the other way...there's a bit of respect there and everybody gets in a jam sometimes on Sundays...even cops
now homemade wine is a very doable trip
and i do mean trip(py)
sediments floating in your glass
mmmmmmm
good stuff

Gone are the days when the ox fall down
he'd take up the yoke and plow the fields around
Gone are the days when the ladies said "please,
gently Jack Jones won't you come to me?"
Brown eyed women and red grenadine
the bottle was dusty but the liquor was clean
Sound of the thunder with the rain pouring down
and it looks like the old man's getting on
In 1920 when he stepped to the bar
he drank to the dregs of the whiskey jar
In 1930 when the Wall caved in
he paid his way selling red eye gin
Brown eyed women and red grenadine
the bottle was dusty but the liquor was clean
Sound of the thunder with the rain pouring down
and it looks like the old man's getting on
Delilah Jones was the mother of twins
two times over and the rest was sins
Raised eight boys, only I turned bad
Didn't get the lickings that the other ones had
Brown eyed women and red grenadine
the bottle was dusty but the liquor was clean
Sound of the thunder with the rain pouring down
and it looks like the old man's getting on
Tumble down shack in Bigfoot County
Snowed so hard that the roof caved in
Delilah Jones went to meet her God
and the old man never was the same again
Brown eyed women and red grenadine
the bottle was dusty but the liquor was clean
Sound of the thunder with the rain pouring down
and it looks like the old man's getting on
Daddy made whiskey and he made it well
Cost two dollars and it burned like hell
I cut hick'ry to fire the still
Drink down a bottle and you're ready to kill
Brown eyed women and red grenadine
the bottle was dusty but the liquor was clean
Sound of the thunder with the rain pouring down

sediment is pure vegetable/mineral trippy shit that happened during fermentation
this particular friend had a basement where he brewed 5 beers and about 12 kinds of wine, including the trippy shit.
good times
