Moonshine in the Mountains
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I've tried every conceivable pill
to stop me from getting so ill
but when the ship starts to rock n roll
I've got to reach for me medical bowl
And it would take a magical potion
to carry me across the Atlantic ocean
it's no good you saying it's quicker by air
I'd be very much sicker if I went up there.
I'd like to see America
the President and his Cadillac car.
Everythings fine in America
but I don't think that I'll get that far
'cause it would take a magical potion
to carry me across the Atlantic ocean
no good you saying it's quicker by air
I'd be sicker if I went up there.
Everything in America's fine
the Coca Cola and the Neon sign
Broadway is the place for me
though it's a place that I'll never be
I'd like to go to California
put some flowers in my hair
I'd like to go to Hollywood
see the film-stars if I only could
But it would take a magical potion
to carry me across the Atlantic ocean
no good you saying it's quicker by air
I know I'd be sicker if I went up there.
