Lyrics

Up in the hills where the shadows grow deep
Where the law doesn't reach and the moonlight weeps
There's a path worn down by the boots of old
Leading to a secret where stories are told
With the night as my cloak, and the wind as my guide
I head to the mountains where the moonshine hides
Through a forest of pine, and the rivers that flow
To a place where the stills quietly glow
The law might chase, but they can't find the way
Where the mist is thick, and the shadows play
In the heart of the hills, where the echoes sing
We dance with the night, and the danger it brings
In the mountains high, where the moonlight's thin
I find my refuge, away from the sin
With a jar in hand, and the stars up above
I taste the freedom that I've come to love
The world down below may not understand
But up here it's just me, the still, and the land
I'm a Moonshine man
I'm a Moonshine man
Lord knows I'm the Moonshine man
The townsfolk whisper of the ghostly white
But I've seen the glow in the dead of night
They say the law's got eyes on this trail
But they've never caught the wind, never heard the wail
I've got jars to fill, and stories to share
With those who dare to meet me there
The mountains keep secrets, old as time
Where the moonshine flows like a hidden rhyme
The hills echo back the sound of the night
The owls call out, the wolves take flight
But I'm not afraid of the darkness or fear
For in these mountains, the spirits are near
The law might chase, but they can't find the way
Where the mist is thick, and the shadows play
In the heart of the hills, where the echoes sing
We dance with the night, and the danger it brings
In the mountains high, where the moonlight's thin
I find my refuge, away from the sin
With a jar in hand, and the stars up above
I taste the freedom that I've come to love
The world down below may not understand
But up here it's just me, the still, and the land
I'm a Moonshine man
I'm a Moonshine man
Lord knows I'm the Moonshine man
When the morning comes with its light so clear
I'll be on my way, no worries, no fear
The jars will be filled, the stories will grow
And down in the valley, they'll never know
For up in the mountains, where the stills hum low
I've found a place where the moonshine flows
I'll take what I need, and leave the rest
For the mountains and I, we know what's best
Oh Moonshine, oh man
Oh the Moonshine, on hand
Oh Lord, it's a moonshine day
Oh Lord, every day
Oh Lord, it's a moonshine old day
