[00:03.78]Now let me tell the story I can tell it all
[00:07.37]About the mountain boy who ran illegal alcohol
[00:10.79]His daddy made the whiskey son he drove the load
[00:14.60]When his engine roared
[00:16.21]They called the highway thunder road
[00:18.38]Sometimes into ashville sometimes memphis town
[00:21.95]The revenoors chased him but they couldn't run him down
[00:25.26]Each time they thought they had him
[00:27.35]His engine would explode
[00:29.23]He'd go by like they were standing still on thunder road
[00:32.48]And there was thunder thunder over thunder road
[00:36.68]Thunder was his engine and white lightning was his load
[00:40.01]There was moonshine moonshine to quench the devil's thirst
[00:43.91]The law they swore they'd get him but the devil got him first
[00:47.97]On the first of april nineteen fifty-four
[00:51.40]A federal man sent word he'd better make his run no more
[00:55.09]He said two hundred agents were covering the state
[00:58.77]Whichever road he tried to take they'd get him sure as fate
[01:02.61]Son his daddy told him make this run your last
[01:06.28]Your tank is filled with hundred-proof
[01:08.25]You're all tuned up and gassed
[01:09.95]Now don't take any chances if you can't get through
[01:13.57]I'd rather have you back again than all that mountain dew
[01:17.00]And there was thunder thunder over thunder road
[01:21.29]Thunder was his engine and white lightning was his load
[01:24.44]There was moonshine moonshine to quench the devil's thirst
[01:28.47]The law they swore they'd get him but the devil got him first
[01:32.56]Roaring out of harlan revving up his mill
[01:35.99]He shot the gap at cumberland
[01:37.63]And screamed by maynordsville
[01:39.56]With g-men on his taillights roadblocks up ahead
[01:43.56]The mountain boy took roads that even angels feared to tread
[01:47.25]Blazing right through knoxville out on kingston pike
[01:50.74]Then right outside of Beardon there they made the fatal strike
[01:54.36]He left the road at ninety that's all there is to say
[01:58.31]The devil got the moonshine and the mountain boy that day
[02:01.33]And there was thunder thunder over thunder road
[02:05.74]Thunder was his engine and white lightning was his load
[02:08.79]There was moonshine moonshine to quench the devil's thirst
[02:13.15]The law they swore they'd get him but the devil got him first
[02:16.81]The law they swore they'd get him but the devil got him first
[02:20.94]Thunder thunder thunder road
[02:24.87]
