Moonshine Mike

Give me some of that moonshine
Moonshine Mike
My wife just left, my child is dead, my head's not screwed on right
For all these ills there's just one pill
Just one liquid cure
A bottle of shine to cleanse my mind and help my vision blur

My little girl was walking out one day upon old 4 Mile Rock road
When out of the woods came a hungry old wolf with a sly grin on his nose
Well that wolf, he was a wily one, lured in my little girl
Grabbed her by the scruff, gobbled her up and flipped my whole damn world

So...

Give me some of that moonshine
Moonshine Mike
My wife just left, my child is dead, my head's not screwed on right
For all these ills there's just one pill
Just one liquid cure
A bottle of shine to cleanse my mind and help my vision blur

We were devastated by that tragedy
But as you can imagine my wife took it way damn harder than me
She walked out on the sand and with her two hands she built a driftwood boat
With her wedding veil, she built a sail and hopped on and I watched her float
Last time I saw her she was just a speck against the setting sun
Then the Superior winds well they filled in and in an instant she was gone

So...

Give me some of that moonshine
Moonshine Mike
My wife just left, my child is dead, my head's not screwed on right
For all these ills there's just one pill
Just one liquid cure
A bottle of shine to cleanse my mind and help my vision blur

Now here I sit sit
On this same damn beach
And my only friend's that wolf that flipped my life on me
And now I know that copper still is made for misery
So fill up my jug, I'll swallow it down and set my spirit free
Those northern lights are dancing
In that northern sky
The wind is blowing through my hair and I feel so (BLEEPING) high
The waves are crashing on the beach and they ripple through my mind
And now I know old Mike I'll drink that shine 'til the day I day

So...

Give me some of that Moonshine
Moonshine Mike
My wife just left, my child is dead, my head's not screwed on right
For all these ills there's just one pill
Just one liquid cure
A bottle of shine to cleanse my mind and help my vision blur
