about

The first one we wrote after getting back together.

lyrics

Back tires spinning in the red clay Mississippi mud,
Hauling ass from the sheriff even though we're related by blood.
Uncle Henry found the hooch growing on the land we own,
Now we gotta find a place to hide and wait until he's gone.

You think that I'm kidding, but mister I ain't.
This stuff goes on around here every night and day.
Moonshine is gone, cause it don't pay the bills,
So Benny brought his Axe, and he laid it to the Steel.

Now we're growing what we're knowing for damn sure Mississippi will.
Yea we're growing what we're knowing for damn sure Mississippi will.

Cousin Joey races cars on the dirt every weekend he can.
He cheats if he has to finish in the money again.
He's a good ole boy but smarter than you think,
It was his idea to raise these crops, and put some cash in our bank.

You think that I'm kidding, but darling I ain't.
This stuff goes on around here every night and day.
Moonshine is gone, cause it don't pay the bills,
So Benny brought his Axe, and laid it to the Steel

Now we're growing what we're knowing for damn sure Mississippi will.
Yea we're growing what we're knowing for damn sure Mississippi will!

It's hard for a man to make ends meet in this troubled time.
Gas prices are killing the working man, getting higher and higher. :)

Uncle Henry has to chase us cause it's his job and he does it well.
But you can bet your ass we'll never spend a minute in jail.

You think that I'm kidding, but darling I ain't.
This stuff goes on around here every night and day.
Moonshine is gone, cause it don't pay the bills,
So Benny brought his Axe, and he laid it to the Steel!

We're growing what we're knowing for damn sure Mississippi will.
Yea we're growing what we're knowing for damn sure Mississippi will.
