Lyrics - Moonshine Rocket Ship

She's a sixty seven Chevy, rust eatin' through the doors
Fenders dented, paint long gone, bald tires on the floor
Gas gauge been broke since '93
But pour a little white lightning in her tank and watch her flee

Moonshine rocketship, runnin' wild and free!
Burnin' liquor, runnin' quicker, hotter than gas o lene!
She coughs and she sputters, but lord she don't quit
That old beaten truck's got thunderous fire in her yet!

Revenue men chasin', red lights in the mirror
But this bayou beast just grunts and disappears
Backroads and backwaters, red dust flyin' high — cloud chokin' everything left behind
She drinks that clear thunder runnin' under moonlight sky

Moonshine rocketship, runnin' wild and free!
Burnin' liquor, runnin' quicker, hotter than gas o lene!
She coughs and she sputters, but lord she don't quit
That beaten truck's got thunderous fire in her you bet!

Ain't pretty to look at, ain't worth a dime
But she'll outrun the devil every single time
One more jug in the tank, pedal to the floor
Hear that engine thunder roar!

Moonshine rocketship! Runnin' wild and free!
Burnin' liquor, runnin' quicker, hotter than gas o lene!
She coughs, she sputters, but she won't quit
My old truck's thunder leaves 'em all in red dust grit!
Yeah... moonshine heap... thunder on!
