Businessman, come down, get what you can take, sulfide in hot water, with a little NaOH

His souped up Cadillac could use some gasohol, but you can't beat white liquor in the middle of the fall

He roams these hills tending his still, waving a blade of steel, and trust me man, you'd steal his plan to make what he sells

But don't cross him, or bad talk him lord, he'll cut you to watch you bleed, he won't bury your dead body, you'll return to seed

Don't hang your head over son, you're already there, the fire's in your bloodstream, the death in your glare

Crack of dawn, we've just begun, fumes in the air, it ain't gasohol, it's white liquor y'all, there's enough to share

The congressman drank from a can, the feds prefer a jar, arrested to his brew, while debating in the yard

You'll never see them or hear them lord, they're quiet as a mouse, but the moment I roll my own stone, they come busting down my house

Don't hang your head over son, you're already there, the fire's in your bloodstream, the death in your glare

Crack of dawn, we've just begun, fumes in the air, it ain't gasohol, it's white liquor y'all, there's enough to share

Well I left town and I went down to see what the hype's about, my tongue hit that water and it fell right out of my mouth

Needless to say I left that day, I felt the fires from hell, bet I'd burn to ash, I'd bust my ass to drink that shit from a pail

Don't hang your head over son, you're already there, the fire's in your bloodstream, the death in your glare

Crack of dawn, we've just begun, fumes in the air, it ain't gasohol, it's white liquor y'all, there's enough to share

It ain't gasohol, it's white liquor y'all, and there's enough to share
