lyrics

MOONSHINER'S BOY

so much for your gold star'd riders
so much for your old ball and chain
just the glowing skin of birches in your hunting light
when I got away

I knew a man with a mule thats how
I knew a woman on the way
out of town past the rolling color eyes of the dryers
is how I got away

sure, sometimes I went without a fire
yeah I shot into the night
my hands white as fish in the pan 'round my gun,
as i turned to run

past the church and the stable grounds,
them awful sounds the horses make
on stormy nights, the scream of their dogs,
the law and the poltergeist,
old Red Eyes ’n Bloody Bones
it’s all in a day
for a moonshiner’s boy

is that them gold star'd riders?
coming through the wind and the rain?
and can I hear the jingle jangle of the chains??

one day I’ll have my own still
and the whippoorwills won’t scare me no more
and I'll be grown, but for now
old Red Eyes he can only dream
of the heavy cream and warm corn bread
that fills the bowl
of a moonshiner’s boy
