lyrics

The roar of the hogs comes thunderin' down
Bout this time every year
And there's a house on the ridge wailin' miles around
With moonshine, blood and beer
And they don't play for money
They're just out to have some fun
Ain't comin' down til their fingers bleed
On the land of the risin' sun
Layin' out some heavy northern blues
Cause life's a game, that nobody's ever won
The house sits at the crossroads
Way out in no man's land
Now things ain't what they used to be
The times are changin' fast
But the boys don't give a damn
Cause they ain't followin' anyone
Yeah...they're still willing to risk it all
On the edge of the risin' sun
Still smokin' some heavy northern blues
And they ain't comin' down til the whiskey's done
When the flames get higher and higher
It all starts kickin' in
You know its gonna be wild down at the crossroads
Cause the boys like takin' it to the edge
And they don't play for money
They're just out to have some fun
Gonna play til their fingers bleed
On the land of the risin' sun
Smokin' some heavy northern blues
and they ain't...no they ain't comin' down til the whiskey's done
