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
