Moonshiner lyrics
by Uncle Tupelo



I've been a moonshinerfor seventeen long yearsand I spent all my moneyon whiskey and beerand I go to some hollowand set up my stillif whiskey don't kill meLord, I don't know what willand I go to some barroomto drink with my friendswhere the women they can't followto see what I spendGod bless them pretty womenI wish they was minewith breath as sweet asthe dew on the vinelet me eat when I'm hungrylet me drink when I'm drytwo dollars when I'm hard upreligion when I diethe whole world is a bottleand life is but a dramwhen the bottle gets emptyLord, it sure ain't worth a damn
