Verse 1
Em
Now let me tell a story,
I can tell it all
Em
who ran illegal alcohol
His daddy made the whiskey,
the son, he drove the load
B
And when his engine roared,
Em
they called the highway thunder road
Verse 2
Em
Sometimes into Ashville,
sometimes Memphis Town
B
The revenuers, they chased him,
Em
but they couldn't run him down
Each time they thought they had him,
his engine would explode
B
He'd go by like they were standing
Em
still on thunder road
Verse 3
E
Em
thunder over thunder road
B
Thunder was his engine and white
E

lightning was his load
E
moonshine to quench the devil's thirst

The law they swore they'd get him,
but the devil got him first
Verse 4
E
On the first of April, 1954
The federal man sent word, he
better make his run no more
Em
He said two hundred agents were
covering the state
A
Whichever road he'd try to take,
they'd get him sure as fate
Verse 5
A
'Son', his daddy told him, 'Now make
Your tank is filled with a hundred proof,
B
you're all tuned up and gassed
E
Now don't take any chances,
if you can't get through
Em
I'd rather have you back again
than all that mountain dew?

There was thunder, thunder over
thunder road
Thunder was his engine and white

lightning was his load
There was moonshine,

Roaring out of Harlan,
revving up his mill
B
He shot the gap at Cumberland
Em

and screamed through Maynardville
With G- men on his tail light,
roadblocks up ahead
B
The mountain boy took roads that even
A

angels feared to tread
Verse 8
Em
Blazing right through Knoxville,
out on Kingston Pike
B
Then right outside of Bearden, there
Em
they made the fatal strike
He left the road at ninety,
that's all there is to say
B
The devil got the moonshine and the
mountain boy that day
