Yeah 04:44
I went to talk to my professor He thought I needed a confessor Some sort of clergyman at least 'cuz I've been talking to the Beast I saw it through the telescope I saw it through the microscope And every time I close my eyes They say "Come on, come on, come on, come on..." A screaming sound coming down I gotta hear you say YEAH! I got this chemist friend of mine Mixed up a batch that blew my mind I shoot it straight into my vein I hear them calling out my name I heard it through the stethoscope I hear it when I'm shooting dope And every time I play guitar They say "Come on, come on, come on, come on..." Ear to the ground, get down I gotta hear you say YEAH!

Two lane blacktop through the dark of night Wide eyed, anxious, lookin' for the light Purple ring quest as we follow the trail Gather 'round children, I'll tell you the tale Of the Oveido Lights Waitin' on the sunrise, waitin' on the dew Look into the stars and catch them lookin' back at you Taste the sweetness, taste the land In the darkness the light will lend a hand They're the Oveido Lights (One, Two) Here's what we do Headin' out on the road (Three, Four) Gimme some more Bringin' back a heavy load (Five, Six) Out in the sticks Lookin' for the fungal love Booze, Ludes, I'm in the mood For all of the above Two lane blacktop through the dark of night Wide eyed, anxious, lookin' for the light Purple ring quest as we follow the trail Gather 'round children, I'll tell you the tale And it goes like this...

When the world was young Had a blotter on the tip of my tongue Those were different times We rolled it up to 'Draw the Line' Get down Mom she found my stash Broke my records and she kicked my ass She was so obtuse I had to drain a bottle of Mateus Had tall ships in the harbor on the fourth of July Don't ask no questions You don't need to know why Don't look so nervous at the sound of the car 'cuz you know we ain't going too far Well I don't know about you But I know what I plan to do Gonna turn back the page Turn it up, gotta get on stage 'cuz I got me a kickass rock 'n' roll band Hit you with that Marshall plan Here today that's where we stand Spread it all around the land Don't look so nervous at the sound of the car 'cuz you know you're a rock 'n' roll star I got me a band, we know some licks We learned back in 1976 Come take the ride and get your kicks In 1976-6-6 (Baby baby) Said I'm coming alive Like Frampton comes alive I gotta get down It's like 1976-6-6

Moonshine trickle down from a copper coil Take a kettle full of corn mash and bring it to a boil Rolling after midnight, running off a batch Do it like my papa, gotta keep it up to scratch Moonshine I'm loading up the trunk The deputy is after me, the sheriff's on a drunk The deputy would like to take a wood axe to my still He ain't gonna find me when I'm hiding in the hills Moonshine, moonshine we ain't got far to go Running this white lightning across the county line Rain or shine Moonshine I toast the hands of fate 36 half-gallon mason jars can pack a bit of weight Bible sitting near me, I got Jesus riding high Thanking Jesus for his mercy – I thank Satan on the sly Moonshine, moonshine we ain't got far to go Running this white lightning across the county line 'cuz I gotta get mine Moonshine trickle down from a copper coil Take a kettle full of corn mash and bring it to a boil The deputy is after me, the sheriff's on a drunk Moonshine, moonshine I'm loading up the trunk

Wake up boy, load the nine I don't think we're gonna make the county line I see the lights, hear the sirens wail Ain't no way they're gonna get me back to jail Coke and pills, meth and weed All we gotta do is move a couple of keys A simple plan to make some cash Conceived in the bottom of a whisky glass Come on, grab your daddy's gun In my brother's car we're gonna make that run You know I need a hand to run this shit down the Rio Grande Got 30 miles to go When we hit the border leave the talking to me But if we don't make it you can blame it on the devil and whisky I was told the dropoff point By a guy that I knew when I was in the joint We're gonna grab that stash and run it down south for some easy cash Come on and help me do this thing You can buy your girl a diamond ring No you won't get hurt, you won't get no blood on that Sabbath shirt 20 miles to go When we hit the border leave the talking to me But if we don't make it you can blame it on the devil and whisky Sorry boy... see the sun? We shouldn't have made that run But you heard my lies Don't you hate it when the hero dies? Come on you got to show me a sign you're alive I guess we never shoulda went on this hell ride I got nowhere left to go The wages of sin are hell I see I guess I'll blame it on the devil and whisky
