Shiner Run Lyrics

In the heart of these hills where the shadows play

A secret lies hidden where the moonlight sways

The trees, they whisper of the secrets they keep

The rustle of leaves, where the moonshiners creep

Run, run, Shiner run

Through the night till the rising sun

Copper stills and whispered thrills

In the woods where the stories are spun

By the creek where the wildflowers bloom

The firelight flickers in the darkness and gloom

Barrels of shine, hidden from sight

Brewing the spirits in the dead of night

Run, run, Shiner run

Through the night till the rising sun

Copper stills and whispered thrills

In the woods where the stories are spun

But the law, it's closing in, dogs on the trail

The forest it trembles with the sound of their wails

Shots ring out and the flames start to rise

A battle in the night beneath the Appalachian skies

The fire it rages, consuming the still

Ashes to ashes, the mountain stands still

The rains they come, pouring down from above

Quenching the flames with a gentle shove

Run, run, Shiner run

Through the night till the rising sun

Copper stills and whispered thrills

In the woods where the stories are spun

Now the woods stand silent, the stillness profound

No more the whispers, no more the sound

Peace in the holler, where the moonlight beams

The end of the still and the shiner's dreams

The night is calm, the forest at rest

Nature's reclaimed what was once its best

In the heart of these hills where the shadows play

The peace of the woods at the end of the day
