Way up in the backwoods, where the pines they stoop so low
There’s ghosts there in the shadows moving mighty slow
In the gate by Tom Dooley’s grave, a mobile waits to drive
Someone took the motor out, put a Cadillac inside
Refrain
Moonshine, moonshine take a little drop
Take a jug of whisky, you will find that you can’t stop
There’s lightning on the sideroads, the fires lit up the sky
All the corn’s a-burning, you can’t help to wonder why
Someone’s been a-snitchin’, someone told the law
Sneaky Jim, what do you think of him, creeping out the door?
Oh, me and the Bishop, and big Kev on the bass
Heard that the revenue, had got us on their case,
So we got’em drinking, some good ol’ apple pie
the sheriff found them singing ‘you’ve gotta live before you die’
Chorus:
Way down Thunder Road, burning up the sky with another load
You know we’re running ‘shine, a hundred miles cross Wickes County Line
Fifty pounds of sugar, a 100lbs of Rye
When they come a callin, where’s your alibi
Take half a cake of yeast, some water from the creek
Say a prayer to the Lord above . we’re on a winning streak

about
Steve Bonham and The Long Road England, UK
A swampy brew of styles mixed from both sides of the ocean, characterised by sharp lyrics, great melodies and the fab sound of acoustic instruments being played with passion and purpose. It’s a kind of music that appeals to the renegade and outlaw in us all. ... more
