Ben The Bootlegger Lyrics - Singles - Marty Falle

Deputy - Did ya hear that? 

Sheriff Yea, hes runnin 

Ben Combs hails from the Bluegrass Hills down in Wolfman Hollow, got a moonshine still 

Hes 84 years old now, cant drive no more, but back in the day he could make an engine roar 

Old Ben was the king of the ridge runner scene hauling bootleg whiskey in a mean machine 

66 dodge Coronet w/ a Hemi, when it hits a 170MPH, its gonna get deadly 

Coal painI cant take no more 

Coal painRotgut to the core 

Big steel springs to conceal the load, gotta make sure so nobody knows 

22 cases of cat daddy wine to the Mossy Bottom past the Pike County Line 

Deputy - Sherriff, I got him, hes coming 23 Southbound 

Sheriff I see the Son of a bitch 

Deputy I clocked him close to 170, Jesus Christ! Hes really moving! 

What burns blue make my blues go away, but the Pikeville cops dont see it that way 

Big Bad Bear waitin in the weedsthey better be packin cause theyll never catch me 

Coal painI cant take no more 

Coal painRotten to the core 

Big steel springs to conceal the load, gotta make sure so nobody knows 

22 cases of cat daddy wine to the Mossy Bottom past the Pike County Line 

Dispatcher Deputy, whats your 10-20? 

Deputy Yea CentralI am two miles north of Mossy BottomIt looks like we got us a Mr. Ben the Bootlegger passing the Pike County line 

Dispatcher Officer 32we are setting up Roadblock in Pikeville We have three units in the vicinity of 23 

Sheriff Negative, we are gonna take him down this time 

Dispatcher Officer 32 10-9 Clarifydid you say take down? 

Sheriff - You heard me10-4 

(GUNFIRE) 

Dispatch Officer 3210-72 we have reports of gunfire on Mossy Bottomplease confirm 

Sheriff Thats a big 10-4, gun shots were fired 

Deputy I think we shot him SherriffWe shot the son of a bitchwait correction hes on the move 

Showdown time in the Middle of the night. Lawman Shines a Big Spotlight 

Ole Ben Pulls off Coal Run Road, Out Here there aint no Postal Code 

Deputy Sheriff, I got that slimy bastard in my sightsIm gonna take a shot! 

Sheriff Stand down Deputy, he is mine 

Hypersonic, a 440 horse, right on course, no remorse 

Old Ben hits the toggle on his back tail lights He couldnt see Ben in a telescope site 

Lawmen ends in a roadside ditch, rollers flipped over, now aint that a bitch 

Old Ben is laughing on a roadside hill, makes a lot of money w/ that moonshine still 

Sheriff Deputy, You aint gonna believe this, but my squad car is completely rolled over in a ditch. Tell me he didnt get away again. 

Deputy - Say again, I did not copy thatdid you say he got away? 

Sheriff Yea! He got away 

Deputy I think you are right Sheriff, he drove right by meand lookhe is sitting on top of that hillhe is laughing at us
