It's been a long night
With a heavy load
And now my high beams are shining on my babies road
Gonna pick up some clay on the tread of these tires
Have ourselves a hell of a night
Look up in that Carolina sky

Let that moonshine, all night, take your breath away
Like an old sweet song daddy used to play
And it takes me back to a simpler place and time
When we used to kick back
And let the moonshine
So let the moonshine

It's been a long time
Since we felt that creek
Running cold and clear over our bare feet
Baby you don't know that this right here
Is the same water my home man used in his still
I still remember what he used to say

It burns me up and lights a fire in my soul
Well get you a sip
And let the whiskey take control
