Lyrics
I'm a moonshiner's daughter And I'll fight you if you wanna I was born to break the law If that wild cat burns blue Then you know that it is true I'll be the best damn runner you ever saw I was born in a shack at the foot of the hill Didn't know my ma and I never will She labored two days and when it was done She died of despair 'cause I wasn't a son But I laced my boots and as I grew higher Daddy taught me all about lightning and fire I dug that old man by the heal And when I was twelve, got behind the wheel Daddy and I, we got it real good We knew every shortcut through these woods He delivered the due and I held the gun And he didn't much care that I wasn't a son I'm a moonshiner's daughter And I'll fight you if you wanna I was born to break the law If that wild cat burns blue Then you know that it is true I'll be the best damn runner you ever saw They think that they can tame me But them men can't even [lay?] me Am I girl? Am I woman? Doesn't matter, I'm the best Daddy's luck ran out one moonless night The boys in blue had him in their sights He told me to run and I never look back And I heard two shots on that back country track Moonshine's my blood, running through my soul And I never cared much about getting too old I burned through this life and when it's the end I'll stare death in the face, just like him I'm a moonshiner's daughter And I'll fight you if you wanna I was born to break the law If that wild cat burns blue Then you know that it is true I'll be the best damn runner you ever saw I'll be the best damn runner you ever saw
