Steve Earle
Copperhead Road

Well my name's John Lee Pettimore
Same as my daddy and his daddy before
You hardly ever saw Grandaddy down here
He only come a town about twice a year
He'd buy a hundred pounds of yeast and some copper line
Everybody knew that he made moonshine
Now the revenue man wanted Grandaddy bad
He headed up the holler with everything he had
It's before my time but I've been told
He never come back from Copperhead Road

Now Daddy ran whiskey in a big block Dodge
Bought it at an auction at the Mason's Lodge
Johnson County Sheriff painted on the side
Just shot a coat of primer then he looked inside
Well him and my uncle tore that engine down
I still remember that rumblin' sound
When the sheriff came around in the middle of the night
Heard mama cryin', knew something wasn't right
He was headed down to Knoxville with the weekly load
You could smell the whiskey burnin' down Copperhead Road

I volunteered for the Army on my birthday
They draft the white trash first,'round here anyway
I done two tours of duty in Vietnam
I came home with a brand new plan
I take the seed from Colombia and Mexico
I just plant it up the holler down Copperhead Road
Now the D.E.A.'s got a chopper in the air
I wake up screaming like I'm back over there
I learned a thing or two from Charlie don't you know
You better stay away from Copperhead Road

Copperhead Road
Copperhead Road
Copperhead Road

Copperhead Road

You better stay away from Copperhead Road
I learned a thing or two from Charlie don't you know
I wake up screaming like I'm back over there
Now the D.E.A.'s got a chopper in the air
I just plant it up the holler down Copperhead Road
I take the seed from Colombia and Mexico
I came home with a brand new plan
I done two tours of duty in Vietnam
They draft the white trash first,'round here anyway
I volunteered for the Army on my birthday

You could smell the whiskey burnin' down Copperhead Road
He was headed down to Knoxville with the weekly load
Heard mama cryin', knew something wasn't right
When the sheriff came around in the middle of the night
I still remember that rumblin' sound
Well him and my uncle tore that engine down
Just shot a coat of primer then he looked inside

He only come a town about twice a year
You hardly ever saw Grandaddy down here
Same as my daddy and his daddy before
