Here it is Joe, just a simple song but fun to play

             Lightning Road - Dan O'Connell

A moonlit highway, a dusty road, past the hollow at miners hill
The smell of whiskey, a heavy load , straight from Popcorn Sutton's still

Chorus:
You can say that the law will find me here one day, thats a story I been told
   Till that day, I'll drive the load and collect my pay. Running shine down' lighting road

Sheriff Barkley, and Deputy Joe, try and catch me if you can
I know the highway, every turn,   500 horsepower in my hand

Chorus:
You can say that the law will find me here one day, thats a story I been told
   Till that day, I'll drive the load and collect my pay. Running shine down' lighting road

In the hollow, the whiskey flows, he makes the finest in the land
In the forest, when darkness falls, so far away from the revenue man

Chorus:
You can say that the law will find me here one day, thats a story I been told
   Till that day, I'll drive the load and collect my pay. Running shine down' lighting road
