Verse 1: F G Back in the hills where the woods get thick Fm C Brewing shine in a still, growing smoke in the ditch F G It's a different way of life but it is what it is Fm C You're either poor when you die or firewater rich {Pre-chorus} Gm F G Call us backwoods C Fm Or we're backwards
Chorus: C G We've got white lightning running through our veins F Fm And we'll die trying to save our family name C G Where the whip-poor-will's will, the coyotes cry F F Way back in the holler where the moon shines Verse 2: F G I didn't choose this life, this lifе chose me Fm C Therе's a copper line where my roots run deep F G Five generations of living like this Fm G I'm a hand-me-down, bootlegging son of a bitch Chorus: C G We've got white lightning running through our veins F Fm And we'll die trying to save our family name C G Where the whip-poor-will's will, the coyotes cry F F Way back in the holler where the moon shines Post-Chorus: F G Whoa-oh F G Whoa-oh F G Whoa-oh F G Whoa-oh Pre-Chorus: Gm F F Call us backwoods C Fm Or we're backwards F G F Fm But none of that matters Chorus: C G 'Cause we've got white lightning running through our veins F Fm And we'll die trying to save our family name C G When the whip-poor-will's will and them coyotes cry F Way back in the holler, in the holler, in the holler C G We've got white lightning running through our veins F Fm And we'll die trying to save our family name C G Where the whip-poor-will's will and them coyotes cry F Way back in the holler where the moon shine Outro: F G Burns as bright as a bonfire flames F It's in my genes like an old grease stain F G It'll be that way 'til the day I die F G Way back in the holler where the moon shines F Where the moon shines
