Georgia Peaches

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Georgia Peaches, Georgia Peaches They'll tear you all to pieces Once you run 'em through that copper line They're burnin' down the county, still ain't nobody found me They're lookin' for that man that's been runnin' shine [Verse 2] Well, my ends they've been meetin' lately Bought new shoes for my babies Yeah, the fruits of my labor, they've been doin' fine And I'd make me an honest livin' If any boss 'round here was willin' to take on a man that's taken another's life [Chorus] After ten years in the pen I'm doin' the best that I can Tryin' to provide for my kids and wife And every lawman in every town Lord, they all been lookin' 'round They're still tryin' to find that man that's been runnin' shine They still tryin' to find that man that's been runnin' shine, yeah [Instrumental Break] [Verse 3] Well, that offerin' plate on Sunday's been gettin' kinda deep Since we changed up the brand of communion wine Everybody starts praisin' Jesus once they taste some of them peaches Wash away all their sins and strife [Chorus] After ten years in the pen I'm doin' the best that I can Tryin' to provide for my kids and wife And every lawman in every town Lord, they all been lookin' 'round They're still tryin' to find that man that's been runnin' shine They still tryin' to find that man that's been runnin' shine [Verse 4] As an old man now, I'm agin' I bought my kids an education So they could lead a better life than mine Thanks to those methamphetamines They ain't nobody worried about me They forgot all about the man that was runnin' shine [Chorus] And after ten years in the pen Lord, I'm doin' the best that I can Tryin' to provide for my kids and wife Every lawman in every town Lord, they all been lookin' 'round They can't find that old man that was runnin' shine They ain't never gonna find the man that was runnin' shine Lord, I'm still the old man that was runnin' shine, yes, I am [Outro] Yes, sir
