Osborne Brothers - Fastest Grass Alive lyrics

rate me

(Paul Craft)

The most wanted, fastest grass alive

Living' somewhere on that mountain side

Finger picking good Kentucky fried

Wanted the fastest grass alive.

Up Rocky Top there live the Breaden brothers

Alvis Rufus Festus Fred and Little Will

They could lay that bluegrass down slicker than a blue tip hound

And smoother than the moonshine from their still.

The most wanted, fastest grass alive

Living' somewhere on that mountain side

Finger picking good Kentucky fried

Wanted the fastest grass alive.

--- Instrumental ---

They'd been the five most wanted men in Lester County

Since their reputation reached the county seat.

The most wanted, fastest grass alive

Living' somewhere on that mountain side

Finger picking good Kentucky fried

Wanted the fastest grass alive.

--- Instrumental ---

The sheriff sent a posse up that mountain

He said place them Breaden boys under arrest

But the posse went stone blind over music and moonshine

They must be up there more friendly

They ain't come down the mountain yet.

The most wanted, fastest grass alive

Living' somewhere on that mountain side

Finger picking good Kentucky fried

Wanted the fastest grass alive...
