Moonshine Blues

[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]
