Lukas Nelson & Promise of the Real

Runnin' Shine
My grandfather died up in the hills of Appalachia Working on a submarine still They found him while the mash Was still fermenting in the boiler His back against an oak upon the hill And luckily my father knew And I could learn a thing or two About running and securing revenue Keeping up with changing times Dodging governmental fines Trying to stay alive like people do Alive Doing fine Runnin' shine Alive Doing fine Just runnin' shine I met a girl not long ago Who may become someone I know If she can handle everything I do She has to understand that there's A difference between loving me And wanting me to be somebody new SongtexteBut I know she's a gift as well Carolina silver bell And she could give me something that I need While I'm chased by federal revenuers Executing slick maneuvers Trying to stay alive but living free Alive Doing fine Runnin' shine Alive Doing fine Just runnin' shine Aus Songtexte Mania
