Lyrics
Dawson My family's always been in whiskey It's a simple honest way to earn a dime The only trouble's been my Uncle Sam now He been trying to collect taxes all the time Now this ain't no ordinary Chevy The motor and suspension ain't the same Whiskey as you know is very heavy And getting through is what they call the game Chorus It's a dark and rainy night But my engine's running right And I hope to get to Memphis before dawn Yeah and if I make it through Gonna save what I have to It ain't healthy running whiskey very long (note 1) Three hundred miles from home to Memphis There's a dozen men along the way (note 2) Never stop and let 'em do no looking Yeah, that was what my pappy used to say Oh there's three hundred miles from home to Memphis And Susan says she don't want me to go She said, now honey don't take chances Ah love I want to keep you, don't you know [Chorus]
