about

a song about a Kentucky Moonshiner that was inspired by a Mendocino weed grower

lyrics

MOONSHINE (music and lyrics Kevin Meade)

People would climb all the way up the mountain to sit at his table and drink from his fountain.
He made the best whisky for miles around. In an old mason jar could be found, the very best
Moonshine, Kentucky Wine, he tended his still like grapes on the vine
But he never saw the clouds or the storm coming in and what was about to begin

I used to Watch him as he sold his wares. He'd invite people in they’d sit back in their chairs
Sipping and talking late into the night to see that his blend was just right,
Sipping his
Moonshine, Kentucky wine he tended his still like grapes on the vine
But he never saw the clouds or the storm rolling in and what was about to begin

He didn't know there were eyes in the hills till they busted through his windows and smashed up his still.
the children were crying as men with their Guns tore up their family home
They came for his Moonshine, Kentucky Wine, he tended his still like grapes on the vine
Now a cold Jail cell made of concrete and steel, around him is all that is real

Ten years are gone and his children are grown. He’s lost everything that he used to call home
His wife tries to help him with scars that wont heal and he does his best not to feel
he turns to his Moonshine, Kentucky wine, he tended his still like grapes on the vine
But he never saw the clouds or the storm rolling in and what was about to begin
