Strong Kind and Genuine

My old friend lives in the hills Makes the finest shine from his homemade still Seekin' the truth start with the proof When you get that chance head back to your roots I drove to the hills one troubled night Can you help me old friend steer me right Have a seat Karnell I'll be right back When he returned tossed a jar in my lap That's northeast peach Hillbilly's Batch Once we crack that lid ain't no turnin' back My old friend lives in the hills Makes the finest shine from his homemade still Seekin' the truth start with the proof When you get that chance head back to your roots Before we take a sip let me give life's tips Make it easy to be loved know where you come from Life's not all hearts you gotta toss that foreshot Be proud of who you are and thankful who you're not Give thanks to God and pray love those kids everyday Wife hand in hand be a good man My old friend lives in the hills Makes the finest shine from his homemade still Seekin' the truth start with the proof When you get that chance head back to your roots When life gets hard and you've had your fill You know where to find me back in these hills Seal this in your mind just like that jar of shine Be strong kind and genuine My old friend lives in the hills Makes the finest shine from his homemade still Seekin' the truth start with the proof When you get that chance head back to your roots That jar sits at home on my shelf A little reminder note to self Bottom of the jar just a little smeared My old friend wrote let me be clear Be strong kind and genuine just like this jar of shine
