00:00Well, the sun's just rising on the dusty road
00:14Got a whiskey in the trunk and a heavy load
00:17Riding high in my Chevy, I can feel that thrill
00:20Kicking up the dirt, you know I'm bound to spill
00:23Tonight is closing in with shadows in my rear
00:26But ain't no longer gonna catch me here
00:29With a heart full of courage, I'm chasing down the glow
00:32I'm a bootlegger, baby, and I got somewhere to go
00:35Driving bootleg liquor down to New Orleans
00:37Where the jazz is hot and the moonlight beams
00:40With my foot on the pedal and the radio loud
00:43In the back of my mind, I'm feeling so proud
00:46Oh, the thrill of the chase, it's a hell of a ride
00:49When the city lights call, you just can't hide
00:53Through the bales and the pines, I keep my cool
00:58Dodging all the signs, just a simple fool
01:00Every twist and turn, the engine roars so bright
01:03You can taste the freedom in the cool night air tonight
01:07Full moon shining down, illuminating my fate
01:09Those city streets beckon, now I can't be late
01:12Got my stash for the folks, oh, they're waiting back there
01:15The smiles on their faces, it's beyond compare
01:18Driving bootleg liquor down to New Orleans
01:20Where the jazz is hot and the moonlight beams
01:24With my foot on the pedal and the radio loud
01:26In the back of my mind, I'm feeling so proud
01:30Oh, the thrill of the chase, it's a hell of a ride
01:32When the city lights call, you just can't hide
01:37Oh, the thrill of the chase, it's a hell of a ride
01:47Oh, the thrill of the chase, it's a hell of a ride
01:51Oh, the thrill of the chase, it's a hell of a ride
02:09Now I hit the river road, the tires start to squeal
02:36The sound of my heartbeat is the real deal
02:39Ghosts of the past whispering in the trees
02:42They remind me of dreams carried on the breeze
02:45Gotta keep it steady, gotta watch my back
02:48But the taste of adventure is the sweetest snack
02:50A raindrop falls, but it won't stop my fate
02:53With the wind in my hair, I'm feeling first rate
02:56So I'll push on through as the night takes its hold
02:59With a heart full of stories waiting to be told
03:02In the land of the saints where ghosts come alive
03:05I'll deliver my bounty as I take that last drive
03:09Bootlegger's run is what keeps me alive
03:14With the spirit of the road
03:15Oh, that's how I thrive
03:18Oh, that's how I thrive
03:20Oh, that's how I thrive
03:21Oh, that's how I thrive
03:25I love you
03:55I love you
04:25I love you
04:55I love you
