	A song about My experience with my Dad running Moonshine
	Credits: Lyrics and Music by William Robinson
	Story Behind the Song I saw a clip about Thunder Road and it made me think of my childhood in Eastern Kentucky. I recalled when I saw the movie it reminded me of a night when my dad was driving through the hills and we were being chased. I'm not really sure if we were hauling moonshine.. but, I know we sold it. heheh. I wrote it in about an hour then it took about 30 takes over several days to get it recorderd. Lyrics Moonshine and Coal Mines Verse My Daddy ran whiskey through them East kentucky Hills Moonshine and coal mines was all he'd ever know It was coal dust by daylight and whiskey through the night that forty ford would run them roads white lightnin' was his life chorus He let me ride shotgun I'd curl up on the floor I'd hear them screamin tires when he took them hairpin curves The law would never catch us, that forty ford was bad Sometimes I think Bob Mitchum played my Dad Verse One day they made a movie they called it Thunder Road Moonshine was the story, white lightnin' was the load I watched in childish wonder as the story told our life Chases on them dirt roads were such a happy site Chorus He let me ride shotgun I'd curl up on the floor I'd hear them screamin tires when he took them hairpin curves The law would never catch us, that forty ford was bad Sometimes I think Bob Mitchum played my Dad Verse The Harlan County Sherrif new the whiskey ran the road One night the Yella House was waitin' for a load The Sherrif chased us to the door that ford was on the brink We thought we were busted till we heard "let's have a drink" Chorus He let me ride shotgun I'd curl up on the floor I'd hear them screamin tires when he took them hairpin curves The law would never catch us, that forty ford was bad Sometimes I think Bob Mitchum played my Dad
