Valiente

Lyrics

Ten miles passed the Mississippi line
I can hear the man close behind
The hound dog bark at every scent they find
Send chills down (down my spine)
The sun is fallin out of the sky
As the Mississippi moon begins to rise

[Chorus]:
Breaking the law is not my intent
But doing good deeds just don't pay the rent
As long as the moon hangs high in the sky
I know I'll be running booze till I die

My actions ain't no fault of mine
But a symptom of another's pride
Telling the people their county's dry
Don't change a thing (expect where they buy)
Keepin myself outta sight
Hidden away in the Mississippi night

[Chorus]:
Breaking the law is not my intent
But doin good deeds just don't pay the rent
as long as the moon hangs high in the sky
I know I'll be running booze till I die

Makin shine down deep in the pines
Miles away from the nearest sign
But even out here you know I ain't alone
There's always something watching
(I can feel it in my bones)
The sun is fallin outta the sky
As the Mississippi moon begins to shine

[Chorus]:
Breaking the law is not my intent
But doin good deeds just don't pay the rent
as long as the moon hangs high in the sky
I know I'll be running booze till I die
