Song | Copperhead Road |
Artist | Steve Earle |
Album | Just an American Boy |
作词 : Earle | |
Well my name's john lee pettimore | |
Same as my daddy and his daddy before | |
You hardly ever saw grandaddy 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 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 | |
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 take the seed from colombia and mexico | |
I 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 ol' charlie don't you know | |
You better stay away from copperhead road | |
Copperhead road | |
Copperhead road | |
Copperhead road |
