[Chorus]
G G
I'm a moonshiner's daughter
F G
And I'll fight you if you wanna
F F G G
I was born to break the law
G G
If that wildcat burns blue
F G
Then you know that it is true
F F G G
I'll be the best damn runner you ever saw
 
[Verse 1]
G G
I was born in a shack at the foot of the hill
G G
Didn't know my ma and I never will
F F
She labored two days and when it was done
G G
She died of despair 'cause I wasn't a son
G G
But I laced my boots and as I grew higher
G G
Daddy taught me all about lightning and fire
F F
I dogged that old man by the heel
G G
And when I was twelve, got behind the wheel
G G
Daddy and I, we got it real good
G G
We knew every shortcut through these woods
F F
He delivered the dew and I held the gun
G G
And he didn't much care that I wasn't a son
 
[Chorus]
G G
I'm a moonshiner's daughter
F G
And I'll fight you if you wanna
F F G G
I was born to break the law
G G
If that wildcat burns blue
F G
Then you know that it is true
F F G G
I'll be the best damn runner you ever saw
 
F F G
 
[Bridge]
Bb C
They think that they can tame me
Bb G
But them men can't even name me
Bb C
Am I girl? Am I woman?
F G
Doesn't matter, I'm the best

[Verse 2]
G G
Daddy's luck ran out one moonless night
G G
The boys in blue had him in their sights#
F F
He told me to run and I never looked back
G G
And I heard two shots on that back country track
G G
Moonshine's my blood, running through my soul
G G
And I never cared much about getting too old
F F
I burned through this life and when it's the end
G G
I'll stare death in the face just like him
 
[Chorus]
G G
I'm a moonshiner's daughter
F G
And I'll fight you if you wanna
F F G G
I was born to break the law
G G
If that wildcat burns blue
F G
Then you know that it is true
F F G G
I'll be the best damn runner you ever saw
F F G G
I'll be the best damn runner you ever saw
