Lyrics
?MOONSHINE RUNNER?
Timothy Lee Horlacher
copyright 2003
Moonshiners running, Revenuers coming
Try?en to break the main line of the whiskey where it flows
Money is the fever, it makes a man a believer
That he can beat the law with horsepower on the road
The Devil is the mountain and the whiskey is the blood of his soul
Moonshine Runner
If the law don?t get you well the mountain surely will
Moonshine Runner
Alcohol and gasoline is a mixture, that can kill
Moonshine Runner
If the law don?t get you well the mountain surely will
Moonshine Runner
Alcohol and gasoline is a mixture, that can kill
When I was young my daddy had the fastest car around
He made his livin? running whiskey, from the mountains to the town
The law had swore to get him, they chased him everywhere
He left them in the dust smelling whiskey, in the air
Moonshine Runner
If the law don?t get you well the mountain surely will
Moonshine Runner
Alcohol and gasoline is a mixture, that can kill
Moonshine Runner
Moonshine Runner
