Bootlegger's Advice Lyrics

I make my money selling speakeasy gin

defying logic and law

every time the blind pig comes to take his cut

he wears a sickly look on his jaw

I know I''ve got a tarnished reputation

but man I sure can think on my toes

I know it''s not the finest station in life

but sometimes that''s how it goes

I am a man of low consequence

I rarely recognize my fill

but when I do I go to Ponchetrain

and spend a little time with my still

I am not qualified to evangelize

or to straighten crooked dice

but take it from your uncle call it bootlegger''s advice

vices are the spices of my life

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
