The ole smell of a corn wakes me every morn
I drive to the still for a twenty gallonfill
Though I hate to get dressed you don't get a lot of rest
When you're runnin' the white lightnin' express.
I built a tricky little bumper on the back of my car
And it came in handy one day
The federal boys locked bumpers with me
I pushed a little button and I got away.
With one stake dry and the other one wet
I'm gonna end up to be a millionaire yet
From east to west I'm a mashin' the best
And runnin' the white lightnin' express.
My mommie told me it's illegal you see
What happen to dad can happen to me
My dad was the best but they laid him to rest
From runnin' the white lightnin' express.
I take my moonshine baby along
And she's gettin' pretty good at all of my tricks
If the ten penny nails don't slow down the law
She'll pour out the oil and run 'em in a ditch.
With one stake dry and the other one wet
I'm gonna end up to be a millionaire yet
That is if I don't meet my death
From runnin' the white lightnin' express...
