Blacktop - Hogjaw

I left my home atta quarter past Two

Sit up tall with a run to do

Ten cases deep of corn liquor booze

Ol' Cyrus showed up when he heard the news

Said he wanted and he needs a run

I didn’t mind he’s got a big shot gun

Johnny Cash on the radio

Hell everything’s right, we won’t be slow

Cyrus says that he knows this dude

They go way back, it’ll go down smooth

Made a lot of runs then I said «we'll see»

Then he cracked a smile 'n said «trust me» (yeah)

Rollin' smoke up th' Georgia Blacktop

Hear th' gears grind

Full tank of gasoline

Ten cases deep of Moonshine

Gotta run, gotta move

Gotta blow this town

That Sheriff’s shotguns aiming, to take me down

Now I’ve known Cyrus for just a few years

And in that time we drank a few beers

Never did me wrong, seemed a little cold

But said trust me, cried his guilty soul

We rolled in to the rendezvous

He’s awful quiet as the deal went through

We backed outta that parkin' lot

I heard his hammer draw back

Then his shaky drawl

«I had to do it» ol' Cyrus said

As he eased that gun barrel t’word my head

He never seen it comin' 'fore he died

A shotgun’s too long i gotta .45 (yeah)

Rollin' smoke up th' Georgia Blacktop

Hear th' gears grind

Full tank of gasoline

Ten cases deep of moonshine

Gotta run, gotta move

Gotta blow this town

That Sheriff’s shotguns aiming, to take me down

See them red & blue

Through them trees

Gotta get this charger up to speed

Rolled Cyrus out he’s a bleedin' too much

Grabbed a hand full 'o gears

Slipped my foot off th' clutch

Hit th' highway 'atta hundred n three

It feels like the Devil’s ridin' with me

Can’t stop and think o' good ol' times

As the highway paint makes a solid line

At least twelve rollers side by side

Flashin' lights and bracket signs

Roadblocks ahead will go for their guns

But the windshield shatters an' my face goes numb (yeah)

Rollin' smoke up th' Georgia Blacktop

Hear th' gears grind

Full tank of gasoline

Ten cases deep, of Moonshine

Ain’t goin home

Oh no

Gonna run outta luck
