Junior Johnson was a moonshiner, he ran that shine all over to North Carolina
G D A
In his super charged, 1947 Chevrolet, raisin� hell and getting paid
A
Well Junior�s new wife was a beautiful sight, she�d get upset when he�d stay out all night
G D A
These were hard times and they led men to hard ways, she wasn�t happy when he drank all day
Chorus:
D
She�d say, �Turn me loose, or give up the booze
A
It�s me or the hooch hunny, you gotta choose"
D
He�d say, �I love you, but there ain�t no choice
G D A
I can�t turn my back on the bottle.�
G D A
He�d say �I can�t turn my back on the bottle.�
Freddy was an alcoholic tax agent, he�d be burned by Junior time and again
It was the sad truth, all those times he was in hot pursuit, not once did he catch that souped-up coupe
Well Junior took his skills to the race-track, he found another way to get a pay check,
The National Association of Stock Car Auto Racing, yeah he became a man worth chasin�
Chorus 2:
He�d say, �Turn me loose, or give up the booze.
It�s me or the hooch sonny, you gotta choose.�
He�d say, �I love you, but their ain�t no choice,
I can�t turn my back on the bottle.�
He�d say, �I can�t turn my back on the bottle.�
Freddy got a tip from Dirty Bill, Junior was up guarding his papa�s still
And they boxed him in, They locked him up and threw the book at him, yeah Freddy was happy with his revenge
Well Junior was released in �58, he quickly proved he was born to race,
He had 50 vics when he retired in �66, that champagne always did the trick
He�d say, �Turn me loose, or give up the booze.
It�s me or the hooch hunny, you gotta choose.�
He�d say, �I love you, but their ain�t no choice,
I can�t turn my back on the bottle.�
He�d say, �I can�t turn my back on the bottle.�
He�d say, �I can�t turn my back on the bottle. Oh no no no.�
