Lyrics

[Verse 1]
There's a cabin in a holler where few have ever been
Tucked away on Shiner's Mountain 'bout a mile from Old Creek Bend
Some say she was born there in the spring of '31
The only daughter of a bootleg man shot down on a midnight run
[Verse 2]
Her Daddy taught her a living
How to make a flatbed fly
Now she's burning down the mountain
Under a black and moonless sky
[Verse 3]
In the dark of the night, on a run through Lincoln's Draw
She heard that deadly blast, she saw her daddy fall
As his last breath was taken she made a solemn vow
They'd never find the cabin, she'd burn that mountain down
[Verse 4]
Her Daddy taught her a living
How to make a flatbed fly
Now she's burning down the mountain
Under a black and moonless sky
[Verse 5]
With matches and a promise she burned it to the ground
Rising from the ashes she'd make her daddy proud
[Verse 6]
Her Daddy taught her a living
How to make a flatbed fly
Now she's burning down the mountain
Under a black and moonless sky
Oh, she's burning down the mountain
Under a black and moonless sky
