Demo version of "The Thompson Boys"

lyrics

The Thompson Boys
Music/Steven Stubblefield
Lyrics/Steven Stubblefield and Birdie Benjamin

Hey there old fella you better get your gun,
Cuz the Thompson boys are coming before the next morning sun.
You must not be from around here. You sho’ aint from the south,
Can’t steal a man’s moonshine and go running at yo mouth.

Johnny’s coming to get you boy
Better run for your life.
Ain’t no man stole his moonshine
That didn’t walk that tunnel towards the light.

Lord, don’t you know that shine is like a child.
Gets deep in under your skin, drive every man wild.
Don’t mess with no man’s moonshine or the devil you’ll fear not.
Shoot you once in the back of the head to make sure your heart stops.

Chorus:

“This unique approach to roots music requires a certain disregard for convention, so it’s not surprising to discover that the members of Starlings, TN used to be in a punk rock band.” - Meredith Ochs, All Things Considered (NPR)
