Deadly Gentlemen - Moonshiner lyrics

(G. Liszt) Been a moonshiner since the day I was born I drunk up all my money and I stilled up all my corn Been a moonshiner and I’m numb to pain If you could have been me You’d have done the same Came into the world rugged at the get go A deep dark hole got dug out of the meadow Looking back it’s just a blanket of gray I lived all the trouble then I drank it away I’ve seen so many good people laid in the shade I’ve been around I’ve seen many a good maiden betrayed Look into that cup it’s a crying shame Better to live high than to die in pain Been a moonshiner since the day I was born I drunk up all my money I stilled up my corn If I had them I’d fly away with a couple I wings But I just have my way with the trouble it brings Time and again her papa just told her no Time and again I see her now Getting older slow We never did to come to pa** There’s still fun But I can’t get fun to last Come on moonshiners, stand in a row I see you looking abandoned and low There’s a lot that could have been That you couldn’t be true to It’s a bad feeling I know it better than you do Too many old biscuits and leftover flapjacks And under my bed Too many little satchels and backpacks Loved the girls since I came to life My testament I blessed them in the name of Christ So be mine babe, you get a cart and bull Billy goat gruff and liquor by the carton-full Be mine You get a diamond ring Live in an oak tree all the time and sing But I’ve been a moonshiner since the day I was born I drunk up all my money and I stilled up all of my corn Tell me to quit it and every day I’ll try But I’ll be a moonshiner till the day I die
