about

One of Jhett's Great Grandfathers ran whiskey moonshine from the South to New York during the prohibition era and ran into some trouble with a gal named Whiskey Sue, this is a tune about her demise and his repentance.

lyrics

Leather Seats, stained with blood, whiskey on the run. Bullets through my window, automatic guns.
St. Peter don’t you call me, gonna be my last run. Get me back to that woman and I swear that I’ll be done.
Picked up my gun to fire back, It was my mistake. Hit my mark but flipped the car and threw us in the lake.
Pete’s blood in the back seat, began to wash away. I barely made it out alive, but Pete can't say the same.
***
Runnin’ down this highway, holes in my boots. Jar in my jacket of those outlawed booz. The nigh is drippin’ fast, I hear those dogs howl. Pigs out to get me, I hear a shotgun shout.
***
Knockin’ on the back door, Sue answered fast. Clock struck the hour that would be her last. She tried to appease me, but I could not hear her speak. I broke that last bottle, right there at her feet.

I ain’t gonna be in your pocket no more, and I ain’t gonna play your games.

I gave you everything you wanted, I took away your shame.

Shame wasn’t my problem, at least my honor was intact, now I came here owing you a debt girl, and I’m here to pay it back.

Revenge ain’t an angel you can pray to for help. If you want me out of the picture, your gonna have to shoot me yourself.

I don’t need no gun, and I don’t need no knife, one of these days your gonna meet your end by your own devise.

She dropped her lantern in rage, as I dove out the window frame, and the bottle of booze I broke upon the floor ignited into flames.
