Lyrics
[Intro]
[Banjo and dobro trade licks over a slow, heavy 808 thump]
[Verse]
Grandpa Leo had a copper kettle hidden in the pines
Boiling sugar, corn, and yeast, crossing state lines
He kept the mason jars rattling in a false-bottom floor
Built a mountain of greenbacks, kept the wolf from the door
Stashed the stacks in the floorboards and the cellar wall
Said the law might be fast, but a clever man won’t fall
He lived by the barrel and he died by the grain
Leaving a heavy legacy and a wild-blooded stain
[Chorus]
It’s that moonshine money and the outlaw soul
A fire in the veins that you can’t control
Yeah, the gene skipped Dad but it landed on us
Left the porch light behind for the gravel and dust
Moonshine money
Outlaw soul
Moonshine money
It’s in control
[Verse]
Now my Daddy was a deacon, kept his ledger clean and straight
He stayed inside the lines and he never showed up late
But the copper and the corn started calling out my name
Found my brother in the thicket playing Leo’s old game
We got the 808s knocking like a deputy at the gate
Slide guitar screaming 'bout a dark and dirty fate
We don't sell the jars, but we live the same way
Chasing ghosts of the old man till the breaking of the day
[Chorus]
It’s that moonshine money and the outlaw soul
A fire in the veins that you can’t control
Yeah, the gene skipped Dad but it landed on us
Left the porch light behind for the gravel and dust
Moonshine money
Outlaw soul
Moonshine money
It’s in control
[Bridge]
[Snare claps intensify, dobro gets gritty]
Dad prays for our spirits while we’re drifting the turns
But the lesson Leo taught is the only one that burns
You build your own kingdom in the dark of the night
And you never back down from a righteous fight
[Chorus]
It’s that moonshine money and the outlaw soul
A fire in the veins that you can’t control
Yeah, the gene skipped Dad but it landed on us
Left the porch light behind for the gravel and dust
Moonshine money
Outlaw soul
Moonshine money
It’s in control
[Outro]
[Heavy 808 fade out, lone slide guitar wail]
Yeah, it skipped right over him.
Straight to us.
Leo's boys.
[Banjo pluck ends]
[Outro]
