George Jones, Mark Knopfler - White Lightning (1994) lyrics

Well, in North Carolina way back in the hills
Lived my old pappy and he had him a still
He brewed white lightning till
The sun went down
He'd fill him a jug and he pass it around
Mighty mighty pleasing pappy's corn squeezing
(Whew white lightning)
Well the G men, T men, revenoers too
Searching for the place where
He made his brew
They were looking, tryin' to book him
But my pappy kept on cooking
(Whew, white lightning)
Well, a city slicker came and
He said I'm tough
I think I'd like to taste that powerful stuff
He took one slug and he drank it right down
I heard him moanin' as he hit the ground
Mighty, mighty pleasing my
Pappy's corn squeezing
(Whew, white lightning)
Well, I asked my old pappy
Why he called his brew
White lightning stead of mountain dew
I took a little sip and right away I knew
My eyes bugged out and my face turned blue
Light has startef flashing
Thunder started crashing
(Whew, white lightning)
Well the G men, T men revenoers too
Searching for the place where
He made his brew
They were looking, tryin' to book him
But my pappy kept on cooking
(Whew, white lightning)
Well, a city slicker came and
He said I'm tough
I think I'd like to taste that powerful stuff
He took one slug and he drank it right down
I heard him moanin' as he hit the ground
Mighty, mighty pleasing my
Pappy's corn squeezing
(Whew, white lightning)
Well the G men, T men, revenoers too
Searching for the place where
He made his brew
They were looking, tryin' to book him
But my pappy kept on cooking
(Whew, white lightning)
