White Lightnin' Lyrics - Kenny Chesney

White Lightnin' 

(Written by S. Wooley) 

Well in North Carolina, way back in the hills 

Lived my old pappy and he had him a still 

He brewed white lightnin' 'til the sun went down 

Then he'd fill him a jug and he'd pass it around 

Mighty, mighty pleasin, pappy's corn squeezin' 

Whshhhoooh . . . white lightnin' 

(Chorus) 

Well the "G" men "T" men revenuers, too 

Searchin' for the place where he made his brew 

They were looking, tryin to book him, 

but my pappy kept a-cookin' 

Whshhhoooh . . . white lightnin'

Well I asked my old pappy why he called his brew 

White lightnin' 'stead of mountain dew 

I took a little sip and right away I knew 

As my eyes bugged out and my face turned blue 

Thunder started flashin', lightnin' started clashin'... 

Whshhhoooh . . . white lightnin' 

(Repeat chorus)

Well a city slicker came and he said "I'm tough" 

I think I wanna taste that powerful stuff 

He took one slug and drank it on down 

And I heard him a moanin' as he hit the ground 

Thunder started flashin', lightnin started clashin' 

Mmmmm.... white lightnin' 

(repeat chorus)
