Lyrics

Hillbilly Blood

Chris Stapleton

Hillbilly blood

Running through my veins

Black coal soul

And a mountain of pain

Jug of white lightning

Crossing 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

Searching my land

A copperhead bites

And don’t give a goddamn

 

All the tongues at the tent revival

Been spitting in the devil’s eye

There ain’t living 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

 

Hillbilly blood

Thick as the night

Fog lays heavy on the morning light

Pike county sheriff

Tracking my scent

Nobody’s gonna know where he went

 

All the tongues at the tent revival

Been spitting in the devil’s eye

There ain’t living 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
