Hillbilly blood, runnin' through my veins Black coal soul and a mountain of pain Jug of white lightning crossin' my lips Hillbilly blood don't give a shit Hillbilly blood, the river runs red Finger on the trigger and a pound of lead Chopper in the air, searchin' my land A copperhead bites and don't give a goddamn All the tongues at the tent revival Been spittin' in the devil's eye There ain't livin', there's just survival Doesn't matter if you do or die The way it is, is the way it was Hillbilly blood, hillbilly blood Hillbilly blood, thick as the night Fog lays heavy on the morning light Pike County Sheriff trackin' my scent Nobody gonna know where he went All the tongues at the tent revival Been spittin' in the devil's eye There ain't livin', there's just survival Doesn't matter if you do or die And the way it is, is the way it was Hillbilly blood, hillbilly blood
