They were runnin’ shine across state lines
Leavin’ Kentucky far behind
From the stills and the hills to the timber pines up north
Pay off the sheriff in some small town
To keep the lights from comin’ ‘round
Tomorrow I’ll be Chicago bound again
We were runnin’ (runnin’)
Runnin’ fast across the whiskey bridge all night
They were comin’ (comin’)
Comin’ fast upon our heels
To the steel bridge where I die (where I die)
This old Ford is filled with booze
Drop-off points and rendezvous
Juke joints where they sing the blues all night
I learned the trade from my old man
He kicked off and here I stand
Just a kid with nothin’ left to lose
We were runnin’ (runnin’)
Runnin’ fast across the whiskey bridge all night
They were comin’ (comin’)
Comin’ fast upon our heels
To the steel bridge where I die (where I die)
We were runnin’ (runnin’)
Runnin’ fast across the whiskey bridge all night
They were comin’ (comin’)
Comin’ fast upon our heels
To the steel bridge where I die (where I die)
We were runnin’ (runnin’)
Runnin’ fast across the whiskey bridge all night
They were comin’ (comin’)
Comin’ fast upon our heels
To the steel bridge where I die (where I die)
