Lyrics

Moonshine
Words and Music by David Michael Miller

When I first met ya baby, in the days of the five and dime
Such a shy and simple pigtailed girl in a shy and simpler time
Keeping jobs was hard for my father, so we moved from that country town
The years had flown, and we were grown when I came back around
Even though your hair's so pretty in the afternoon sunshine
I want to see you sparkle in a harvest moon

Let's mix a batch together, little bit of sweet moonshine
Let's lift a glass together, little bit of sweet moonshine
Let's drink of life together, baby we'll forever refine
In time, more and more of this sweet moonshine

So the two of us got married, in a church under God's own sight
Started a home, with nothing to own, but a thought someday we might
No I didn't share my baggage, and the weight on my weary soul
Almost went down, but you stayed around to make the broken whole
Even though your hair's so pretty in the afternoon sunshine
You've glowed the brightest in the darkest moon

Inches became miles and seconds into years,
Looking back I try to see our past and its blurry by the tears
But standing now here with you, I know these stars have tracked our days
And follow our light, in the dark of the night, till the morning clears the way
Even though your hair's so pretty in the afternoon sunshine
I love it when you sparkle in a harvest moon
