Copperhead Road

In the style of

Steve Earle

Lyrics

well my name's
john lee pettimore
same as my daddy
and his daddy
before

ya hardly ever saw
grandaddy
down here
he only
come to 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
headed up
the holler
with everything
he had

'fore my time
but i've been told
he never
come back from
copperhead road

and daddy
ran-a whiskey
in a big black dodge
bought it
at an auction
at the mason's lodge

johnson county
sheriff painted
on the side
he just shot
a coat of primer
then he looked inside

well him
and my uncle
tore that
engine down
i still remember
that-a rumblin' sound

and then the sheriff
came around
in the middle
of the night
heard mama cryin'
knew somethin'
wasn't right

he was headed
down to knoxville
with the weekly load
you could smell
the whiskey burnin'
down
copperhead road

hey

hey
hey

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 columbia
and mexico
i just plant it
up the holler
down
copperhead road

a-now the d.e.a.'s
got a chopper
in the air
i wake up screamin'
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

wow

copperhead road
copperhead road
up copperhead road
