Lyrics

In the back woods of Pennsylvania
Where the Susquehanna flows
In a run down shack on the side of a mountain
Just where nobody knows
Old Lantern was a man straight from the earth
He had fire and the devils grin
He lived in shadow of the wood and pine
Doing what the preacher man calls a sin
Fire up the still get the shine a flowing
Theres money to be made
All across the counties theres a hunger growing
in the souls that can't be saved
With a beat up truck and an engine that would scream
through the darkness of the night
No sheriff's eye could catch him on the back road
When the moons your only guide
Lackawanna, Luzerne, Wyoming and Carbon
All tasted his wears
A little nip of Old Lantern's Brew
Could make a man forget his cares
Fire up the still get the shine a flowing
Theres money to be made
All across the counties theres a hunger growing
in the souls that can't be saved
A bootleggers life is like a wild fire burning
Always moving hard and fast
Theres no happy ending to a weary story
That was never meant to last
Well he drank himself into a cloudy haze
Because the hunger sucks you in
It don't kill you as fast as a law mans bullet
But it still gets you in the end
Fire up the still get the shine a flowing
Theres money to be made
All across the counties theres a hunger growing
in the souls that can't be saved
