Freddy Potts

One Wild and Crazy Dude

Howdy, I have written several songs in my time, but have dozens that are half written. I can't get musical ideas out of my head, so I plan to post some of the finished works, and maybe some of the others if I finish them. I work in an truck assembly plant and usually put in 60 to 80 hours a week, so there is not as much time as I would like to devote to this project. Soundclick gives me the opportunity to share my music with others and gives me a way to feel like, maybe I am accomplishing something with my songs after all. If not for soundclick, no one would probably ever hear them. I hope that at least one of my songs brings entertainment to someone somewhere. Enjoy, Fred

Story behind the song

This song would not have made it if Mr. Bob Grez had not come to my rescue and helped me see the subject from a whole new light. I am proud to be associated with Bob on this project. Thank you Bob for making this one possible, and a thank you to Soundclick, for bringing talented people from all over the world to together with one another to create new music and production projects.

Lyrics

Well, Ol' George can Dickel, and Ol' Jim can Beam, 
but they can't hold a candle to the shine that I've seen.
Now Nothing beats the taste of that secret recipe 
hits you 'tween the  eyes till you, just can't see.
It's all hidden real well, in the gully past the mill
Ol' Johnny's got it cookin' in the beat up copper still,
revenuers keep a lookin', but they don't ask Sheriff Bill.

Moonshine, white lightning, corn in a jar, 
beats any thing you'll find in that ol' state liquor store.
You can't buy it legal man but, hey  that's ok.
Crossin' the law makes it taste better any way.
now You can keep your light beer and your store bought brew.
With them fancy ads, and those fancy labels too,
For these ol' country boys, only the shine will do.

Now Ya gotta watch that dirt road there, comin' in to town.
When there runnin' that shine, ya know they don't slow down.
They'll be waitin' in line down behind Bobby Jo's.
It's the best kept secret that this, whole town knows.
Now if the sheriff comes by he ain't got a word to say.
Don't give him any guff and he'll just, look the other way
Cos' he knows who he can count on, come election day.

Moonshine, white lightning, corn in a jar, 
beats any thing you'll find in that ol'state liquor store.
You can't buy it legal man but, hey  that's ok.
Crossin' the law makes it taste better any way.
now You can keep your light beer and your store bought brew.
With them fancy ads, and those fancy labels too,
For these ol' country boys, only the shine will do.
 
Tell the truth, one more time.

Moonshine, white lightning, corn in a jar, 
beats any thing you'll find in that ol' state liquor store.
You can't buy it legal man but, hey  that's ok.
Crossin' the law makes it taste better any way.
now You can keep your light beer and your store bought brew.
With them fancy ads, and those fancy labels too,
For these ol' country boys, only the shine will do.
Tell the truth, now
For these ol' country boys, only the shine will do.
