run one rainy night
My two brothers lost their lives

mama's heart
but she understood
A 
The day that I left home for good

But I  had to find me
E 
Em 
another way to live
E 
Well I sent mama money nearly every day

E 
From daddy's moonshine still
Em 
My boot

Verse 10
E 
legging daddy
was known quite well

I know that I never will
B

And bad memories haunt the
rest of us
E 
From daddy's moonshine still
