It's been a long night with a heavy load

But now my high beams are shining on my baby's road

Gonna pick up some clay on the tread of these tires

Have our selves a hell of a night

Look up in that Carolina sky

[Chorus]

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 in time

When we used to kick back and let the moon shine

Just let the moon shine.

It's been a long time since we felt that creek

Runnin' cold and clear over our bare feet

Baby you don't know but this right here

is the same water my old man used in his still

I still remember what he used to say

[Chorus]

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 in time

When we used to kick back and let the moon shine

Just let the moon shine.

Burns me up and lights a fire in my soul

Well get you a sip and let the whiskey take control

[Chorus]

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 in time

When we used to kick back and let the moon shine

Just let the moon shine.
