letra de moonshiner's daughter - rhiannon giddens

[chorus]
i’m a moonshiner’s daughter
and i’ll fight you if you wanna
i was born to break the law
if that wild cat burns blue
then you know that it is true
i’ll be the best d-mn runner you ever saw

[verse 1]
i was born in a shack at the foot of the hill
didn’t know my ma and i never will
she labored two days and when it was done
she died of despair ’cause i wasn’t a son
but i laced my boots and as i grew higher
daddy taught me all about lightning and fire
i dug that old man by the heal
and when i was twelve, got behind the wheel
daddy and i, we got it real good
we knew every shortcut through these woods
he delivered the due and i held the gun
and he didn’t much care that i wasn’t a son

[bridge]
they think that they can tame me
but them men can’t even [lay?] me
am i girl? am i woman?
doesn’t matter, i’m the best

[verse 2]
daddy’s luck ran out one moonless night
the boys in blue had him in their sights
he told me to run and i never look back
and i heard two shots on that back country track
moonshine’s my blood, running through my soul
and i never cared much about getting too old
i burned through this life and when it’s the end
i’ll stare death in the face, just like him
