Moonshine State of Mind
Well I've grown since I was that boy
But I'll tell ya I've grown tired
Grown sick and tired of this working
For never enough
And every ship that comes in for me
Always seems like it's missing stuff
I don't want anybody over me
I'm half past forgetting this society
Bout time I go hide out and get to work
Down at my stretch of the creek
That moonshine state of mind
Here it comes a creeping in
It's always lingered around
But I'm about to start listening
Life ain't fair but I've got a wild hair
Gotta get that fire a burning
Gonna throw her in four low down in that holler
And keep those wheels a turning
Well I know it's a risk
Living outside the law
But everything else I tried
Never got me ahead at all
And I ain't just talking bout
Running that Mountain Dew
I'm talking bout forgetting everything else
And finally doing what I wanna do
That moonshine state of mind
Here it comes a creeping in
It's always lingered around
But I'm about to start listening
Life ain't fair but I've got a wild hair
Gotta get that fire a burning
Gonna throw her in four low down in that holler
And keep those wheels a turning
I know it's gonna be a long hard road
I know I've got to watch my back
I keep tying up beer cans with fishing line
To the pines all around this shack
Jarred up lightning, took it to town
Gotta light that fire again
And get back on the road by dawn
I've gotta take it to all of my friends
That moonshine state of mind
Here it comes a creeping in
It's always lingered around
But I'm about to start listening
Life ain't fair but I've got a wild hair
Gotta get that fire a burning
Gonna throw her in four low down in that holler
And keep those wheels a turning
But I'll tell ya I've grown tired
Grown sick and tired of this working
For never enough
And every ship that comes in for me
Always seems like it's missing stuff
I don't want anybody over me
I'm half past forgetting this society
Bout time I go hide out and get to work
Down at my stretch of the creek
That moonshine state of mind
Here it comes a creeping in
It's always lingered around
But I'm about to start listening
Life ain't fair but I've got a wild hair
Gotta get that fire a burning
Gonna throw her in four low down in that holler
And keep those wheels a turning
Well I know it's a risk
Living outside the law
But everything else I tried
Never got me ahead at all
And I ain't just talking bout
Running that Mountain Dew
I'm talking bout forgetting everything else
And finally doing what I wanna do
That moonshine state of mind
Here it comes a creeping in
It's always lingered around
But I'm about to start listening
Life ain't fair but I've got a wild hair
Gotta get that fire a burning
Gonna throw her in four low down in that holler
And keep those wheels a turning
I know it's gonna be a long hard road
I know I've got to watch my back
I keep tying up beer cans with fishing line
To the pines all around this shack
Jarred up lightning, took it to town
Gotta light that fire again
And get back on the road by dawn
I've gotta take it to all of my friends
That moonshine state of mind
Here it comes a creeping in
It's always lingered around
But I'm about to start listening
Life ain't fair but I've got a wild hair
Gotta get that fire a burning
Gonna throw her in four low down in that holler
And keep those wheels a turning
