C
Now let me tell the story I can tell it all
G7 C
About the mountain boy who ran illegal alcohol
His daddy made the whiskey son he drove the load
G7 C
When his engine roared they called the highway thunder road
Sometimes into Ashville sometimes Memphis town
G7 C
The revenuers chased him but they couldn't run him down
Each time they thought they had him his engine would explode
G7 C
He'd go by like they were standing still on thunder road
F C
And there was thunder thunder over thunder road
G7 C
Thunder was his engine and white lightning was his load
F C
There was moonshine moonshine to quench the devil's thirst
G7 C
The law they swore they'd get him but the devil got him first
On the first of April nineteen fifty-four
G7 C
A federal man sent word he'd better make his run no more
He said two hundred agents were covering the state
G7 C
Whichever road he tried to take they'd get him sure as fate
Son his daddy told him make this run your last
G7 C
Your tank is filled with hundred-proof you're all tuned up and gassed
Now don't take any chances if you can't get through
G7 C
I'd rather have you back again than all that mountain dew
F C
And there was thunder thunder over thunder road
G7 C
Thunder was his engine and white lightning was his load
F C
There was moonshine moonshine to quench the devil's thirst
G7 C
The law they swore they'd get him but the devil got him first
Roaring out of Harlan revving up his mill
G7 C
He shot the gap at Cumberland and screamed by Maynardville
With g-men on his taillights roadblocks up ahead
G7 C
The mountain boy took roads that even angels feared to tread
Blazing right through Knoxville out on Kingston pike
G7 C
Then right outside of Bearden they made the fatal strike
He left the road at ninety that's all there is to say
G7 C
The devil got the moonshine and the mountain boy that day
F C
And there was thunder thunder over thunder road
G7 C
Thunder was his engine and white lightning was his load
F C
There was moonshine moonshine to quench the devil's thirst
