[Verse 1]
Copper pot sweatin on a cinderblock stand
Barrels of mash out back by the van
Granddad’s recipe, passed hand to hand
Pitchin that yeast like a Bible in the sand
Black smoke curlin through the tall pine tops
Headlights kill when the blue light pops
Truck bed rattlin, jars in a box
Heartbeat hittin like a hammer on a lock
[Chorus]
We bootleggin shine
Backwoods 180 proof
Deep in the woods where they won’t find truth
Don’t want them fake Walmart jars on the shelf
We cook it in the dark, keep it all to ourselves
We bootleggin shine
Copper burnin through the night
If the law come lookin, then we cut those lights
Backroad dust, that outlaw juice
Backwoods, 180 proof (hey!)
[Verse 2]
Game warden cousin, he don’t say a thing
Cash in the glovebox, wrapped in a ring
Radio low, hear a tree frog sing
Til a siren wails like a busted string
Gearshift slam, hit the logging road quick
Mud so thick, make the tailgate kick
Drop that stash in a creekside ditch
Circle back later, pull it out, get rich
[Chorus]
We bootleggin shine
Backwoods 180 proof
Deep in the woods where they won’t find truth
Don’t want them fake Walmart jars on the shelf
We cook it in the dark, keep it all to ourselves
We bootleggin shine
Copper burnin through the night
If the law come lookin, then we cut those lights
Backroad dust, that outlaw juice
Backwoods, 180 proof (oh yeah)
[Bridge]
If you sip it and your knees don’t shake
Turn that truck around, that’s store-bought fake
This here fire’ll make a sinner pray
One small jar take your breath away
[Chorus]
We bootleggin shine
Backwoods 180 proof
Deep in the woods where they won’t find truth
Don’t want them fake Walmart jars on the shelf
We cook it in the dark, keep it all to ourselves
We bootleggin shine
Copper burnin through the night
If the law come lookin, then we cut those lights
Backroad dust, that outlaw juice
Backwoods, 180 proof
