Lyrics
[Instrumental]
[Verse]
Moonshine flows like a river
Smooth and sweet
In the hills where the revenuers never miss a beat
But the feds
Oh the feds
They came around
Busted up my still
Took my dreams to the ground
Whiskey bottles shattered
Dreams in a haze
All that's left is the bitter taste of better days
The revenuers took everything I had
Left me with only memories
Oh so sad
[Verse 2]
Moonshine nights filled with laughter and cheer
Sippin' on my troubles
Drowning in fear
But the lawmen
Oh the lawmen
They got their way
Tore apart my world
Left nothing else to say
[Chorus]
Moonshine blues, running through my veins
Every drop a story, every sip a pain
In the dark of night, by the pale moonlight
I feel the weight of loss, as I hold on tight
To the moonshine blues, they're all I got tonight
[Verse 3]
Long nights alone, the fire's glow
In the silence, the memories grow
Of the times, oh the times
When life was sweet
Now I'm haunted by the shadows
Of defeat
[Pre-Chorus]
But the feds, Oh the feds
They came around
Busted up my still
Took my dreams to the ground
[Chorus]
Moonshine blues, running through my veins
Every drop a story, every sip a pain
In the dark of night, by the pale moonlight
I feel the weight of loss, as I hold on tight
To the moonshine blues, they're all I got tonight
[Bridge]
But in the embers of the fire
I see a spark
A glimmer of hope
In the deepest dark
I'll rebuild, oh I'll rise again
For the moonshine in my soul
Will never end
[Outro]
Moonshine blues, they're my only friend
In this lonely world, where dreams ascend
I'll keep fighting, with every breath
Till the moonshine flows again
And I'm free from this death
[Bluegrass Instrumental]
[Big Ending]
