Cody Johnson Georgia Peaches Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Georgia Peaches, Georgia Peaches
They'll tear you all to pieces
Once you run 'em through that copper line
They're burnin' down the county, still ain't nobody found me
They're lookin' for that man that's been runnin' shine

[Verse 2]
Well, my ends they've been meetin' lately
Bought new shoes for my babies
Yeah, the fruits of my labor, they've been doin' fine
And I'd make me an honest livin'
If any boss 'round here was willin' to take on a man that's taken another's life
[Chorus]
After ten years in the pen
I'm doin' the best that I can
Tryin' to provide for my kids and wife
And every lawman in every town
Lord, they all been lookin' 'round
They're still tryin' to find that man that's been runnin' shine
They still tryin' to find that man that's been runnin' shine, yeah

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
Well, that offerin' plate on Sunday's been gettin' kinda deep
Since we changed up the brand of communion wine
Everybody starts praisin' Jesus once they taste some of them peaches Wash away all their sins and strife

[Chorus]
After ten years in the pen
I'm doin' the best that I can
Tryin' to provide for my kids and wife
And every lawman in every town
Lord, they all been lookin' 'round
They're still tryin' to find that man that's been runnin' shine
They still tryin' to find that man that's been runnin' shine
[Verse 4]
As an old man now, I'm agin'
I bought my kids an education
So they could lead a better life than mine
Thanks to those methamphetamines
They ain't nobody worried about me
They forgot all about the man that was runnin' shine

[Chorus]
And after ten years in the pen
Lord, I'm doin' the best that I can
Tryin' to provide for my kids and wife
Every lawman in every town
Lord, they all been lookin' 'round
They can't find that old man that was runnin' shine
They ain't never gonna find the man that was runnin' shine
Lord, I'm still the old man that was runnin' shine, yes, I am

[Outro]
Yes, sir
