Moonshiner's Daughter |
| I’m a moonshiner’s daughter |
| And I’ll fight you if you wanna |
| I was born to break the law |
| If that wild cat burns blue |
| Then you know that it is true |
| I’ll be the best damn runner you ever saw |
| I was born in a shack at the foot of the hill |
| Didn’t know my ma and I never will |
| She labored two days and when it was done |
| She died of despair 'cause I wasn’t a son |
| But I laced my boots and as I grew higher |
| Daddy taught me all about lightning and fire |
| I dug that old man by the heal |
| And when I was twelve, got behind the wheel |
| Daddy and I, we got it real good |
| We knew every shortcut through these woods |
| He delivered the due and I held the gun |
| And he didn’t much care that I wasn’t a son |
| I’m a moonshiner’s daughter |
| And I’ll fight you if you wanna |
| I was born to break the law |
| If that wild cat burns blue |
| Then you know that it is true |
| I’ll be the best damn runner you ever saw |
| They think that they can tame me |
| But them men can’t even me |
| Am I girl? |
| Am I woman? |
| Doesn’t matter, I’m the best |
| Daddy’s luck ran out one moonless night |
| The boys in blue had him in their sights |
| He told me to run and I never look back |
| And I heard two shots on that back country track |
| Moonshine’s my blood, running through my soul |
| And I never cared much about getting too old |
| I burned through this life and when it’s the end |
| I’ll stare death in the face, just like him |
| I’m a moonshiner’s daughter |
| And I’ll fight you if you wanna |
| I was born to break the law |
| If that wild cat burns blue |
| Then you know that it is true |
| I’ll be the best damn runner you ever saw |
| I’ll be the best damn runner you ever saw |
