Capo  4 
 
Intro: Em (8x)
 
           Em 
So man you think you wanna run Whiskey 
Well roll with me but you better listen good and clear 
If you got a badge or a big mouth, brother, you aint got no business here 
Fool, this here is a moonshine still you can smell that whiskey burn 
                 Em                       D 
This is how the big dogs run, boy you're ridin shotgun 
       Am 
Buckle up and lets have some fun 
 
 
Em                G                  D                 Am 
Ridin 95 down the highway, sideways, runnin from ol' John Law 
Em                       G                 D                   Am 
Booze in the boot, move it over Bo Duke make room for a real outlaw 
Em               G              D                Am 
Duct tape on that license plate, 6 gun in the dash 
Em                   G                    D 
Thunder in the hood, heaven from a still, lightning in a jar 
           Am      Em                 D        Em 
Brother I'm hell on wheels, I said I'm hell on wheels 
 
Verse 2:
  
Em 
Just nine more miles until the state line, we're on time and we lost Barney's Blues 
So you can open your eyes, you done fine in this dangerous part of what we do 
Now when we make that drop we're gonna pop a top you got a lesson left to learn 
         Em                      D                             Am 
It aint wine dont sip it make it bubble when you hit it let it burn baby burn 
 
 
Em                             G                  D                 Am 
And we'll be ridin 95 down the highway, sideways, runnin from ol' John Law 
Em                                G                 D                   Am 
Got the booze in the boot, move it over Bo Duke make room for a real outlaw 
Em               G              D                Am 
Duct tape on that license plate, 6 gun in the dash 
Em                   G                    D 
Thunder in the hood, heaven from a still, lightning in a jar 
           Am      Em        G     D Am                 Em   G  D  Am
