Mary & Moonshine Lyrics

Well shes sitting out there in a parking lot

Praying to God that I'll change my ways

Because that old bottle got ahold of me

And the pills and cocaine won't let me be, Lord no

Oh, well I don't think I'll ever settle down

They say old souls never stick around

Oh, well I might not live a long life

But I'll be raising Hell tonight

Oh, so grab my Mary and moonshine

And we'll have ourselves a good time

Well I woke up in an old cemetery

My body lay half buried neath the brush up in the trees

Oh my left eye was swollen

My jaw sat damn near broken

From acting like a tough guy last evening I suppose

As I got out of my shallow grave

That splitting headache went away

And before me lay my shadow near a tombstone on the ground

And in that moment it occurred to me

That the life I lived wasn't good to me

That ain't nothing another night out drinking here won't fix

So grab my Mary and moonshine

And we'll have ourselves a good time

Oh, I said grab my Mary and moonshine

And we'll stay up till the sunrise

Later in the evening

I got a call there from my mother

She said, son you are a goner

There's nothing that we can do

Well boy why must you insist

On making us all suffer

Done seen it with your brothers

What makes you think you ain't the same

Well I hung up that phone

And I fell down to the ground

I cried so hard that night

That I didn't make a sound

And though my mind was broken

It didn't mean I had to stay

In the same dirty place for the rest of my days

So hold my Mary and moonshine

And I'll get along just fine

Oh I say hold my Mary and moonshine

And I'll get along just fine

Oh Lord hold my hand and walk with me

The road from here is the one unseen

Oh well I swear one day I'll make it there

And what I've broke I will repair
