Steve Earle - Copperhead Road (en) Lyrics
by RentAnAdviser.com
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 to town
about twice a year
He'd buy a hundred pound 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 came back from
Copperhead Road
Now Daddy ran the 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
Then 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
And 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
And 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
