It's been a long night
With a heavy loop
And now my high beams are shining on my baby's road
Gonna pick up some clay on the tread of these tires
Have ourselves a hell of a night
Look up in that Carolina sky

Let that moon shine, all night, take your breath away
Like an old sweet song that daddy used to play
And it takes me back to a simpler place and time
When we used to kick back
And let the moon shine
So let the moon shine

It's been a long time
Since we felt that creek
Running cold and clear over our bare feet
Baby, you don't know but this right here's the same water my old man used in his still
I still remember what he used to say

Let that moon shine, all night, take your breath away
Like an old sweet song that daddy used to play
And it takes me back to a simpler place and time
When we used to kick back
And let the moon shine
So let the moon shine

It burns me up and lights a fire in my soul
Well get you a sip
And let the whiskey take control

Let that moon shine, all night, take your breath away
Like an old sweet song that daddy used to play
And it takes me back to a simpler place and time
When we used to kick back
And let the moon shine
Let's let the moon shine
You let the moon shine
