Lyrics
WHITE LIGHTNING
WAY OUT IN THE WOODS BACK UP IN THE HILLS
FAR FROM PRYIN' EYES IS WHERE HE KEEPS HIS STILL
IN BARRELS AN' JUGS HIGH-PROOF LIQUOR
TRUE IF IT BURNS BLUE MADE FROM CORN AN' SUGAR
WHITE LIGHTNIN' FOR BETTER OR WORSE
WHITE LIGHTNIN' THE POOR MAN'S CURSE
HOME BREW MOUNTAIN DEW ONE AN' THE SAME
BOOTLEGGIN WHISKEY'S THE NAME OF THE GAME
ITS ROUGH AN READY POTENT TO THE TASTE
HE WONT TOUCH THE STUFF NONE EVER GOES TO WASTE
WHITE LIGHTNIN' FOR BETTER OR WORSE
WHITE LIGHTNIN' THE POOR MAN'S CURSE
HOME BREW MOUNTAIN DEW ONE AN' THE SAME
BOOTLEGGIN WHISKEY'S THE NAME OF THE GAME
ITS ROUGH AN READY POTENT TO THE TASTE
HE WONT TOUCH THE STUFF NONE EVER GOES TO WASTE
WHITE LIGHTNIN' FOR BETTER OR WORSE
WHITE LIGHTNIN' THE POOR MAN'S CURSE
HOME BREW MOUNTAIN DEW ONE AN' THE SAME
BOOTLEGGIN WHISKEY'S THE NAME OF THE GAME
SHUCKIN' THE SHERIFF DUCKIN' THE DEPUTIES
DELIVERIN' MOONSHINE BREAKIN' THE LAW
DRIVIN' THE BACK ROADS IN A COUNTY HE KNOWS
IN A HOPPED UP CHEVY FOUR ON THE FLOOR
WHITE LIGHTNIN' FOR BETTER OR WORSE
WHITE LIGHTNIN' THE POOR MAN'S CURSE
HOME BREW MOUNTAIN DEW ONE AN' THE SAME
WHITE LIGHTNIN' FOR BETTER OR WORSE
WHITE LIGHTNIN' THE POOR MAN'S CURSE
HOME BREW MOUNTAIN DEW ONE AN' THE SAME
BOOTLEGGIN WHISKEY'S THE NAME OF THE GAME
WHITE LIGHTNIN' THE POOR MAN'S CURSE
HOME BREW MOUNTAIN DEW ONE AN' THE SAME
BOOTLEGGIN WHISKEY'S THE NAME OF THE GAME
WHITE LIGHTNING HES GOT LIGHTNIN'
BUT HE'S NOT SURE IF HIS WHITE LIGHTNIN'
WILL KILL OR CURE
WHITE LIGHTNIN'
