Moonlight Run - Country Song About Running Moonshine In A 1940 Ford

Lyrics
So I took the wheel, with a grin and a nod
Prayin' to the moonshine gods
[Verse 1]
Hit the back roads hard, tires squealin' loud
Jars in the trunk, we're moonshine proud
Sheriff's lights flashin', I'm feelin' spry
Can't let him catch me, won’t even try
[Verse 1]
Old Hank's '40 Coupe, shinin' like a star
Runnin' 'shine so fast, got moon in a jar
Sheriff's on my tail, it ain't no light affair
Pedal to the floor, wind blowin' through my hair
[Chorus]
Bootleg bottles clinkin', heart's beatin' like a drum
Ford's roarin' loud, moonlight on the run
[Verse 2]
Took a sharp left turn, nearly lost my hat
Dodged 'round old Miss Betty, her cat's out like that!
Rooster crowin' loud, as I'm flyin' down the pike
Gonna give ol' Sheriff a quite a wild hike
[Chorus]
Bootleg bottles clinkin', heart's beatin' like a drum
Ford's roarin' loud, moonlight on the run
[Verse 3]
Dust kickin' up, I hit the county line
Lookin' in the mirror, he's fallin' behind
Through the woods we fly, bump and sway
Laughin' to myself, it's just another day
[Chorus]
Bootleg bottles clinkin', heart's beatin' like a drum
Ford's roarin' loud, moonlight on the run
Spillin' halfway out, my hat's holdin' tight
With a rooster's crow, I vanish in the night
[Bridge]
Down by the river, take a hidden route
Sheriff's thinkin' quick, he's startin' to scout
But I'm long gone, laughter in the air
This ol' moonshine run's a midnight affair
