about

...played around with the bluesy-rock riff in A for a while...a country rock feeling wafted through me for the verses and chorus...played with the double-entendre for "moonshine"--the actual shining of the moon and home distilled liquor-hence, "moonshiny".....put them together and you've got a whopper of a romantic evening...

lyrics

MOONSHINY NIGHT
Whoa! Don’t the moon look good tonight?
Yea! Shinin’ down like a big spotlight
Come-on-come-on-come-on-come-on
Katy can you come out tonight?
Why? Why? Why stay in
On such a lovely night?
Every little star’s on fire
And I’m burnin’ too
I have only one desire
I just wanna be with you
I do I do I do
Whoa! Yea we’re gonna paint the town tonight
Yea! gone dancin’ in the juke box light
Put on your red high heels—let’s do it up right
Why? Why? Why? you wanna hide away
On such a night?
Can’t you hear the crickets callin’?—callin’ us away?
And just a little moonshine is gonna
Brush off the dust of the day
All’s I need’s a little moonshine and a lot of your kisses
Baby that’s the kind of shot that never ever misses
I’m gonna get my mojo right
Gonna be a moonshiny night tonight
Whoa! –a little lightnin’ in a paper cup
Yea! gonna knock it down and drink it all up
What do ya’ say? What do ya’ say?
Why don’t we stay out all night long?
Drink with the stars—close down the bars
And make love with the dawn
Just a little moonshine shinin’ to carry us away
Just a little moonshine callin’
Come on what do ya’ say?
[Chorus]
