White Lighting Moonshine

White Lighting Moonshine

drinking 160 proof white lighting moonshine
by the light of the silvery moon
the evening breeze moving through the oak trees
makes me happy
in the Shenandoah Valley 

the firelight flickering bright
as my friends and I 
tell stories some are true some are a lie
but by and by we enjoy
the way our lives unfolded 
in the Shenandoah Valley

we were born and raised here
and here we will die
never been very far away 
no good reason to we love it here
in the Shenandoah Valley

we play our guitars and fiddles 
singing songs of life and lost loves 
as we drink our 160 proof white lighting moonshine
by the light of the silvery moon
in the Shenandoah Valley
