| Well my name’s John Lee Pettimore
|
| Same as my daddy and his daddy before
|
| You hardly ever saw granddaddy down here
|
| He only came 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 granddaddy bad
|
| He headed up the holler with everything he had
|
| 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
|
| Well 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’ll take the seed from Colombia and Mexico
|
| I’ll just plant it up the holler down Copperhead Road
|
| Well 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 old Charlie don’t you know
|
| You better stay away from Copperhead Road
|
| Copperhead Road
|
| Copperhead Road
|
| Copperhead Road |
