about

In tribute to the late great Marvin "Popcorn" Sutton. R.I.P.

lyrics

woo hoo hoo, Woo hoo hoo

He was an american appalachian moonshiner
from Maggie Valley, North Carolina
Paving the way in a Model-A
Headed west to east Tennesse
making a living the only way he knew how

Shine on, for the rest of all your days
Even though they try, they can't lock you away
shine on, when the morning song is sung
They will never catch you on the run

Blue ridge stills, but uncle sam minds
even though he sold it all within the Tennessee line
They attacked the man, the Feds are the worst
But they cant get him, if he can get there first

shine on, for the rest of all your days
Even though they try, they can't put you away
shine on for the rest of all your life
they should know by now to do whats right
so make sure you shine on...

(solo)

woo hoo hoo, Woo hoo hoo

woo hoo hoo, Woo hoo hoo

The other day, fished out on the lake,
I heard a voice that I could not mistake
It was popcorn sutton, he said with a thrill
"Im the soul they tried to catch but could not kill."

Shine on, for the rest of all your days
Even though they try, they can't put you away
shine on for the rest of all your life
we should know by now to do whats right
so make sure you shine on...

woo hoo hoo, Woo hoo hoo

woo hoo hoo, Woo hoo hoo

His name was Marvin
But we all knew him as Popcorn
