It's been a long night

With a heavy load

And now my high beams are shining on my babies road

Gonna pick up some clay on the tread of these tires

Have ourselves a hell of a night

Look up in that Carolina sky



[Chorus:]

Let that moonshine, all night, take your breath away

Like an old sweet song daddy used to play

And it takes me back to a simpler place and time

When we used to kick back

And let the moonshine

So let the moonshine



It's been a long time

Since we felt that creek

Running cold and clear over our bare feet

Baby you don't know that this right here

Is the same water my home man used in his still

I still remember what he used to say



[Chorus]



It burns me up and lights a fire in my soul

Well get you a sip

And let the whiskey take control



[Chorus]
