The Ballad Of Thunder Road - Tex Williams
Now let me tell the story I can tell it all
About the mountain boy who ran illegal alcohol
His daddy made the whiskey son he drove the load
When his engine roared
They called the highway thunder road

Sometimes into ashville sometimes memphis town
The revenoors chased him but they couldn't run him
Down
Each time they thought they had him
His engine would explode
He'd go by like they were standin' still on thunder
Road

thunder thunder over thunder road
Thunder was his engine and white lightning was his
Load
moonshine moonshine to quench the devil's thirst
The law they swore they'd get him but the devil got
Him first

On the first of april nineteen fifty-four
A federal man sent word he'd better make his run no
More
He said two hundred agents were coverin' the state
Whichever road he tried to take they'd get him sure as
Fate
Son his daddy told him make this run your last
Your tank is filled with hundred-proof

You're all tuned up and gassed
Now don't take any chances if you can't get through
I'd rather have you back again than all that mountain
Dew
thunder thunder over thunder road
Thunder was his engine and white lightning was his
Load
moonshine moonshine to quench the devil's thirst
The law they swore they'd get him but the devil got
Him first

Roarin' out of harlan revving' up his mill
He shot the gap at cumberland
And screamed by maynordsville
With g-men on his taillights roadblocks up ahead
The mountain boy took roads that even angels feared
To tread
Blazing' right through knoxville out on kingston pike
Then right outside of Beardon there they made the fatal
Strike
He left the road at ninety that's all there is to say
The devil got the moonshine and the mountain boy
That day
thunder thunder over thunder road
Thunder was his engine and white lightning was his
Load
moonshine moonshine to quench the devil's thirst
The law they swore they'd get him but the devil got
Him first
The law they swore they'd get him but the devil got
Him first
