Moonshine Time

The sun is sinking

down beneath the hill

There is a quiet fire

burning at the still (hm-mm-mm)

I hear the water

dripping slow and clear

The finest run we've

made in forty years

The glass is ready

and the fire is bright

We are going to

find our peace tonight

Oh it's moonshine time (yeah) Pour the jar

and let it shine

My grandaddy showed me

how to cook it right

Underneath the shadow

of the velvet night (ooh-yeah)

The law is sleeping

down in county three

They won't find a trace

of you and me

Eighty-five years

walking on this ground

Still the sweetest medicine

I have ever found

So pass the cup

and let the stories flow

Before the morning light

begins to show

Oh it's

moonshine time (lord have mercy) Pour the jar and let it shine

Moonshine time...

Yeah, it's moonshine time... (hummm-mm)
