Dark Side of the Mountain Lyrics by Addison Johnson

Dark Side of the Mountain

0

[Verse 1]
Well I grew up on a mountain in a town you've never heard
Where coal mines are religion and [vices?] are the word
My daddy tried to warn me, I couldn't stay away
From the dark side of the mountain where the devil loves to play
Where the devil loves to play
[Verse 2]
That sheriff he's been chasing me since I was just sixteen
Started running round with John Roy yeah they called him the moonshine king
Taught me all his secrets, hе told me where to hidе
Said 'always keep your pistol ready and never close your eyes'
Yeah never close your eyes
[Chorus]
On the dark side of the mountain there's trouble all the time
You can get your thrills on pills and Blue Ridge holler moonshine
Yeah them outlaws deal in the darkness yeah they hide way back in them pines
On the dark side of the mountain where the sun never shines
Where the sun never shines
[Verse 3]
Well after ten years of running the money turned into greed
I shot John Roy with my pistol and they call me the moonshine kid
The G-men came from the valleys put a bounty on my head
Said 'a hundred grand to catch that man alive or dead'
Yeah alive or dead
[Chorus]
On the dark side of the mountain there's trouble all the time
You can get your thrills on pills and Blue Ridge holler moonshine
Yeah them outlaws deal in the darkness yeah they hide way back in them pines
On the dark side of the mountain where the sun never shines
Where the sun never shines
[Verse 4]
Well that sheriff caught me brought me down and put me in a cell
Said I'd ride the lightening and he'd send me straight to []
That judge said son you've got to pay for all the things you've done
You may see the light but you'll never see the sun
You'll never see the sun
[Chorus]
On the dark side of the mountain there's trouble all the time
You can get your thrills on pills and Blue Ridge holler moonshine
Yeah them outlaws deal in the darkness yeah they hide way back in them pines
On the dark side of the mountain where the sun never shines
Where the sun never shines
