White Lightnin' Lyrics - Kenny Chesney

1 White Lightnin'

2 (Written by S. Wooley)

3 Well in North Carolina, way back in the hills

4 Lived my old pappy and he had him a still

5 He brewed white lightnin' 'til the sun went down

6 Then he'd fill him a jug and he'd pass it around

7 Mighty, mighty pleasin, pappy's corn squeezin'

8 Whshhhoooh . . . white lightnin'

9 (Chorus)

10 Well the "G" men "T" men revenuers, too

11 Searchin' for the place where he made his brew

12 They were looking, tryin to book him,

13 but my pappy kept a-cookin'

14 Whshhhoooh . . . white lightnin'

15 Well I asked my old pappy why he called his brew

16 White lightnin' 'stead of mountain dew

17 I took a little sip and right away I knew

18 As my eyes bugged out and my face turned blue

19 Thunder started flashin', lightnin' started clashin'...

20 Whshhhoooh . . . white lightnin'

21 (Repeat chorus)

22 Well a city slicker came and he said "I'm tough"

23 I think I wanna taste that powerful stuff

24 He took one slug and drank it on down

25 And I heard him a moanin' as he hit the ground

26 Thunder started flashin', lightnin started clashin'

27 Mmmmm.... white lightnin'

28 (repeat chorus)
