    Story Behind the Song
    "Moonshine Man" is about one of those nights when you feel invisible, out-of-place and alone. When everything feels dangerous and disastrous. When you need one person, one ghost, one angel to see you and acknowledge that you are not alone, so you ask if they are out there.

    I started writing "Moonshine Man" on a Sunday morning in a parking lot while burning my mouth eating an egg sandwich and downing it with coffee on the way to some idiot restaurant job. I had this hopeful lost yearning feeling and I had been listening to a lot of Lyle Lovett. I finished it that night in my car with the title "Shadow On The Heels Of Angels".

    Lyrics
    1
    Well it's Saturday night
    And I'm getting off work again
    So I head to the bar where the boys are all drunk
    And the girls all hang
    like medallions

    2
    I peer inside those windows
    With the smoke on the air like a ghost
    And all the faces seem familiar
    But I am
    the only stranger

    Chorus
    Can you see me?
    Here I am
    Can you see me?
    Here I am
    You're a sunshine girl
    And I'm a moonshine man

    3
    I am out on the town
    And my wallet is empty
    Well the cars splash my shoes
    in the street
    The boys play with knives on the corners
    And the girls all flash their legs
    They are waiting for me
    They are waiting for me to make
    one false move

    Chorus

    C Section
    I want to be anonymous
    I want to be the rain
    I want to be a shadow on
    The heels of the angels

    Solo

    4
    Then I am down by the water
    with a bottle and my hat
    It's another lost night on the avenue
    And another lost night
    In blue

    Chorus
