Moonshiner 04:03
I’ve been a moonshiner for seventeen long years 
And I’ve spent all my money on whiskey and beer 
And I go to the hollow and sit at my still 
And if whiskey don’t kill me then I don’t know what will    And I go to some bar room and drink with my friends  Where women can’t follow and see what I spend  God bless them pretty women I wish they was mine  Cause their breath is as sweet as the dew on the vine     And let me eat when I’m hungry and drink when I’m dry  A dollar when I’m hard-up religion when I die 
The whole world’s a bottle and life is but a dram  And when the bottle gets empty, but it ain’t worth a damn    
2.
Cowboy boots and turquoise jewelry 
A mouth full of lies never looked so pretty 
Now it’s etched on your face like an open diary  So, catch that train back to Kansas City     Oh, where is love? 
Tell me, oh where is love? 
I’ve been searching high, searching low  Standing neath’ the mistletoe 
Singing, oh where is love?     I will write you eighteen letters 
And burn them one by one in the backyard  Scatter the ashes all among the flowers 
So my words will grow into something better     Oh, where is love? 
Tell me, oh where is love? 
I’ve been searching high, searching low  Standing neath’ the mistletoe 
Singing, oh where is love?     It’s funny how it’s not always what it seems  Funny how nightmares look like day dreams  But it’s not funny what you did to me     Oh, where is love? 
Tell me, oh where is love? 
I’ve been searching high, searching low  Standing neath’ the mistletoe 
Singing, oh where is love?   Tell me, oh where is love?

I took a walk to the end of the dock  
Honey, I don’t keep secrets no more  
I threw out my box, the one covered in locks    Now they’re all washing up on the shore      I believed, something sweet    Had come for me  
I sunk my teeth, in make-believe    He said come with me      One little song, and then I’ll be gone  
I’ll flutter and flit on my way  
Here comes the dawn, so I’m moving on    Off like a runaway train      I believed something sweet  
Had come for me  
I sunk my teeth, in make-believe  
He said come with me, come with me   Come with me    I look at the world and I notice it’s turning  While my guitar gently weeps 
With every mistake we must surely be learning     But I believe something sweet  
Will wait for me  
There has to be, more than make-believe    And plasticine      I look at the world and I notice it’s turning
