Bootleggin'

The date is nineteen twenty

Set the setting for you

Bootlegin' my liquor

That's cause I adore you

Rolling through my city

Shout it to the rooftops

All the while my family don't know

Find myself in saloons

Downing gin like it's juice

Stumble into the road

Automobile on the loose

Say "what up?" to my haters

I got money for days

I say fuck prohibition

Boy that alcohol pays

I've been drunk for ten hours my friend

But you ought to know

Life's the best when your whole desire

Is to lose all control

Said do you like what I'm selling

Cause I got what you need

I'm the bootleggin' man

We're all in love with that green

Monday through Friday I'm leaving

I'll be back soon to drink you down

Late nights are all that I believe in

Oh no! I don't know where we went wrong

Show some respect to me

You could at least say goodbye

[x2]

So take note how I spend my days

Been searching for

Reasons to maintain my ways

Been fallin' more

Everybody wants to know

When they'll take me down

Strolling through these crowded roads

I love this town

Guess I'm faded at noon

Put down two barrels of booze

Speaking easy all day

Cause I got nothing to lose

Say "what up?" to my buyers

I'm supplying their thrills

Tell me what are you drinking

I can show you my skills

We've been dancing on tables

Way after cries for last call

Entertaining the notion

To celebrate till we fall

Say "do you like how you feellin'

After one day with me?"

I'm the bootleggin' man

All the fun comes for free

Monday through Friday I'm leaving

I'll be back soon to drink you down

Late nights are all that I believe in

Oh no! I don't know where we went wrong

Show some respect to me

You could at least say goodbye
