Outside town at the top of the hill
Lives a white haired man with a copper still
And his chimney's smokin' all night and day
He built that still when he was a boy
It's his only child and his only joy
And it shines as bright as the day that it was made
Yeah it's still shining, so they say

Every month when the moon is dark
There's a midnight meeting in old town park
And the old man's there with his wares in a crate
Don't need an ID or doctor's note
Just a ten dollar bill and away you go
With a bottle in hand a smile on your face
And that bottle's gonna keep a smile on your face
Yeah that bottle's gonna keep a smile on your face

Talking 'bout moonshine
Talking 'bout good old fashion down home country love
Little bit of alright, little bit of all night
Little bit of backwoods magic in an old glass jug
Talking 'bout moonshine

It'll turn strangers into friends
Then turn around and turn 'em back again
Be the best and worst mistake you've ever made
It'll peel the rails off the railroad track
And makes them boys like Jim & Jack
Look like they were grandma's lemonade
No this ain't your grandma's lemonade

Talking 'bout moonshine
Talking 'bout good old fashion down home country love
Little bit of alright, little bit of all night
Little bit of backwoods magic in an old glass jug
Talking 'bout moonshine

Well the old man's spry as a hickory stick
He ain't never been late and never been sick
Delivers that shine through any kind of weather
It's said he swears it up and down
That shine's what's keepin' him out of the ground
And the way he knocks it back he's gonna live forever
Yeah he's knockin'' it back like he's gonna live forever
Yeah he's knockin'' it back like he's gonna live forever

Talkin' 'bout moonshine
Talkin' 'bout good old fashion down home country love
Little bit of alright, little bit of all night
Little bit of bring another bottle of whatever that's a bottle of
Talkin' 'bout moonshine
