Moonshine Man

Well it's been 10 long years since I left my home

I found solace in the mountains all alone

Yeah I feel better when I'm sitting all alone

But the night's getting cold in my old homestead

I've got roosters that will keep me well and fed

Lord I've got roosters that will keep me well and fed

Chorus

But she left me with nothing but a moonshine still

And I'm praying that she comes home before I die alone

But if I die it's on this hill flatpicking as long as I can

'Til I die a moonshine man

Hang the boot up high above my snare

And I'm praying that it keeps away the bears

Lord I'm praying that it keeps away the bears

I've got an old guitar and a moonshine still

And they both can help to cure me when I'm ill

Lord they both can help to cure me when I'm ill

Chorus

But she left me with nothing but a moonshine still

And I'm praying that she comes home before I die alone

But if I die it's on this hill flatpicking as long as I can

'Til I die a moonshine man

Well the moonshine man, he's tough as nails

Some say he's still here playing from the hills

Oh lord at night I still can hear his guitar wail
