Moonshine

Come on down to the riverside, where the sun comes up and the sky turns red, you won't
Be denied
Me and the devil, sippin' on that moonshine, what we talk about is classified, it's not
The end of the world, so no need to be terrified, living from coast to coast is the bottom line

Not a day goes by that I don't think of my valentine
Tired of the routine, or possibly not even in the mood, don't treat me like a fool
I never had much luck with girls in high school, but I found myself with a couple of girls
After graduation and I thought I was cool

Dreaming of fancier cars, I could buy an electric guitar, I guess I should have known right
From the start, I'll hold you close even when we're miles apart, to remind yourself of me
Gaze above at the brightest stars
Country roads and dirt trails, where the heart finds peace, people running wild in the belly

Of the beast, if you looking for a lucky streak, I'll be the one you need, let's just find
A quiet place to sleep, listening to her telling me she's afraid of the thunder and
The rain, I love my baby so damn much that I can't let her get away, and I don't pretend
It's ever going to be the same, all you got to do is tell me how my music makes you feel

I was at the lab all day believing I could get a record deal, I'm going to get that money
And forget about keeping it real, decided to go on a small fasting this week, so this
Is my last meal, we found a haven in a southern town, where love blossoms with joy all around
The rain keeps coming down, I wish you were here, I feel lost without you and you're no

Longer found, she said let's go to the party, I am a heartbeat away from missing you tragically
Obviously we are very well suited financially, I do know why I fell in love with this beautiful
Lady, come on down to the riverside, where the sun comes up and the sky turns red, you
Won't be denied, me and the devil sipping on that moonshine, what we talk about is classified

It's not the end of the world so no need to be terrified, living from coast to coast is
The bottom line, not a day goes by that I don't think of my valentine, getting things off my
Shoulders, no longer giving money to lenders, I wish I could find a love that never surrenders
Embedded in his own universe with all the empty whispers, strike wealth on your own terms as a

Vendor, when heartbreak calls I answer willingly, young people take advantage of snow birding
Even though you may not have retired fully, anticipating financial freedom, my energy
Attracts money resolutely, migrating to warmer weather during the winter, the summer is over
When the nights get colder, you can feel it all over, I love being alone, enjoying my own time

But I still love my culture, sitting by the river, my heartache never gone, she gets down on her knees
And cries praying for her little ones, now I know in the morning it won't be long before the work
Is done, home of the brave, I'm holding on, praying these tears will eventually fade, now there's been
A mistake, I was standing in the rain, a slave to the beat of a runaway train, but our love remains

Trying to keep my calm, out in the backyard singing our favorite country songs, the weight
Of my mistakes won't let me move on, I'm in love with girls from Vietnam, who wears lip balm
I let them know I was outside their building through the intercom, like a river I flow
Wild and free, in a lonely cabin heartache lingers ever so fully, freedom isn't free

But it's worth every penny, sometimes she wishes she could still wear her innocence naively
Come on down to the riverside, where the sun comes up and the sky turns red, you won't be
Denied, me and the devil sipping on that moonshine, what we talk about is classified, it's not the end
of the world, so no need to be terrified, living from coast to coast is the bottom line, not a day

Goes by that I don't think of my valentine
