Mt. Shine, the hillbilly song

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
My first delivery was the general store
around back we emptied her floor.
