Midnight Run (2015)

[Verse 1]
Take a deep breath as the air brakes lock down
As fast as the dust settles and these boots hit the ground
I'll be unloaded and back out on the road
I got a dozen cases left and three more states to go

[Verse 2]
This stuff I'm haulin' could damn sure sell itself
Don't need commercials Lord, or to sit out on the shelf
That X don't stand for sweet, but it sure is smooth
Better sip it slow because I won't be back here 'til June

[Chorus]
You might think that the way I live is wrong
And that's alright with me
But just like you I've got a family at home
That depend on me, I'm on a midnight run
With some moonshine from Tennessee

[Verse 3]
Down here where I'm from there ain't much economy
Gotta stick to what you know, whatever that might be
This job is dangerous, or at least grandpa said so
But it keeps food on the table, and shelter from the cold

[Chorus]
You might think that the way I live is wrong
And that's alright with me
But just like you I've got a family at home
That depend on me, I'm on a midnight run
With some moonshine from Tennessee

[Verse 4]
Now let me educate you on this Tennessee shine
We sure as hell didn't start out sellin' rhymes
We just finished up a batch, put it in some jars
Grabbed the guitar and kicked back to unwind
With some smooth sips, and a mule's kick
Put it in your truck, I bet it could fuel it
Now you understand where we get the name of our band
'Cause down here we still make more than music
Have some Tennessee shine, hand delivered to your home
You'll wake up in the mornin', check liver light on
A whole lotta "What happened last night?"
A little bit of "Where's my keys, I'm goin' home?"
We ship shine in ship shape
Can't remember the last time I heard a jar break
No such thing as sick days
We cookin' 24/7, yeah buddy you better bet we get paid
It's that pedal to the floor, float up the po-po
It ain't exactly legal keep it on the low-low
The first rule about shine club
You don't talk about shine club, that's a no no
Matter fact snitches get stitches
Got a 1911 tucked down in my britches
And if you need somethin' to help lose your mind
Maybe we could do business, if not stay out of mine
Holla

[Chorus]
And you might think that the way I live is wrong
And that's alright with me
But just like you I've got a family at home
That depend on me, I'm on a midnight run
With some moonshine from Tennessee
