Intro
Am Am F G Am
[Verse]
Am
The mountains were a prison for their family of nine
Dm G Am
No where to go no place to work unless you crawled down in the mines
And his momma knew the sound of a man's lungs turnin' black
Dm G Am
So when daddy found another way to make a livin' it was easy to turn her back
Am
Now Rufus was the oldest and he knew Bell County well
Dm G Am
He could hunt and fish like any grown man and take care of his self
Am
So his daddy put him to runnin' shine when he was just 12 years old
F G Am
Said it might not be the right thing, but it sure beats minin' coal
[Chorus]
Am Dm
Run Rufus run, run across the mountains darlin'
Am Dm
Daddy wants you to take a load of shine to a man up near Harlan
Am Dm
And he feared for his life every time his daddy would put him on the run again
Am Am F G Am
He said a boy's no match for the shot gun blast from the gun of a revenue man
[Verse]
Am
So one fall night when the moon was bright enough to light his way
Dm G Am
Rufus loaded up that old sedan, said I'll be back 'fore the break of day
But as he turned onto highway 119 he heard three shot gun blasts
Dm G Am
And his blood ran cold and wondered, could this run be his last?
And his momma never closed her eyes that night when he left home
Dm G Am
She tossed and turned and walked the floor prayin' nothin' would go wrong
'Cause her thoughts were on a stranger she'd heard about from town
Dm G
He had a funny talk and a brand new car and been askin' around
[Chorus]
Am Dm
Run Rufus run, run across the mountains darlin'
Am Dm
Daddy wants you to take a load of shine to a man up near Harlan
Am Dm
And he feared for his life every time his daddy would put him on the run again
Dm Am Am F G Am
He said a boy's no match for the shot gun blast from the gun of a revenue man
[Verse]
Am
Oh but Rufus knew those mountain roads like the back of his hand
Dm G Am
He could take those curves on two wheels in a beat up old Sedan
So he ran 'em up the holler and lost 'em somewhere round William's Branch
Dm G Am
There was one bad road that they didn't know that revenuer never stood a chance
[Chorus]
Am Dm
Run Rufus run, run across the mountains darlin'
Am Dm
Daddy wants you to take a load of shine to a man up near Harlan
Am Dm
And he feared for his life every time his daddy would put him on the run again
Dm Am Am F G Am
He said a boy's no match for the shot gun blast from the gun of a revenue man
