lyrics

CORN WHISKEY - NATHAN EVANS FOX

We set off at sixteen for an outlaw’s dream,
And headed for them hills of East Tennessee
With your daddy behind us and the recipe,
Just two hungry souls with two mouths to feed.

Corn whiskey will take you just as you are,
Flowing down from the stills hid in heaven’s stars.
Run like lightning when they find you and the sheriff comes
With axes and hammers to jail up your sons.

The big wigs and white suits got drunk off our stuff,
And the smoke from our altars filled up heaven’s lungs
With the sweet smell of corn and the flavors of love.
Their bellies got full, but their pockets stayed flush.

We stayed up late every night and prayed
For heaven’s blessing on this love that we made.
Prayed for heaven’s love to give us a son
Born with the taste of corn whiskey on his tongue.

They shot her in the holler for running that stuff,
And we buried her deep in that Tennessee mud.
When the corn comes up golden like the locks of my love,
We fire up the altar and we offer her up.

Nathan Evans Fox Nashville, Tennessee

Born and raised in western North Carolina, Nathan Evans Fox writes songs that sound the way gas stations feel. When it comes to Nathan’s approach, Americana Highways writes, “It’s not cornpone, it’s not alt-country, country-western, or pop-country. Fox has a solid hold on a serious genre of country seldom covered by many artists. It cuts through the commerciality of country music.”
