The ole smell of a corn wakes me every morn I drive to the still for a twenty gallonfill Though I hate to get dressed you don't get a lot of rest When you're runnin' the white lightnin' express. I built a tricky little bumper on the back of my car And it came in handy one day The federal boys locked bumpers with me I pushed a little button and I got away. With one stake dry and the other one wet I'm gonna end up to be a millionaire yet From east to west I'm a mashin' the best And runnin' the white lightnin' express. My mommie told me it's illegal you see What happen to dad can happen to me My dad was the best but they laid him to rest From runnin' the white lightnin' express. I take my moonshine baby along And she's gettin' pretty good at all of my tricks If the ten penny nails don't slow down the law She'll pour out the oil and run 'em in a ditch. With one stake dry and the other one wet I'm gonna end up to be a millionaire yet That is if I don't meet my death From runnin' the white lightnin' express...
