Bardstown, Kentucky in the middle of the 20's

Great grandaddy was a deacon but he struggled breaking even

Till he started running bottles out the Bible belt

Some called him a saint
C majorC G+G
Because they knew where that cash went

DmDm FF
They say you can't buy salvation
C majorC G+G
That ain't how it works
DmDm FF
But if you asked that congregation
C majorC G+G
Sunday morning in that brand new church
[Chorus}
DmDm FF
They'd say "bless the man with the still in the holler"
C majorC G+G
Turning corn into shine and shine into dollars

Built that Lord's House with the devil's money
