Well my name's John Lee Pettimore |
| [00:46.49] |
Same as my daddy and his daddy before |
| [00:52.61] |
You hardly ever saw Grandaddy down here |
| [00:58.85] |
He only came to town about twice a year |
| [01:04.58] |
He'd buy a hundred pounds of yeast and some copper line |
| [01:11.31] |
Everybody knew that he made moonshine |
| [01:16.98] |
Now the revenue man wanted Grandaddy bad |
| [01:20.42] |
He headed up the holler with everything he had |
| [01:23.57] |
'Fore my time but I've been told |
| [01:26.29] |
He never came back from Copperhead Road |
| [01:41.65] |
Now daddy ran the whiskey in a big block dodge |
| [01:48.09] |
Bought it at an auction at the Mason's lodge |
| [01:54.19] |
Johnson county sheriff painted on the side |
| [01:59.97] |
Just shot a coat of primer then he looked inside |
| [02:06.31] |
Well him and my uncle tore that engine down |
| [02:12.30] |
I still remember that rumblin' sound |
| [02:18.42] |
Well the sheriff came around in the middle of the night |
| [02:21.79] |
Heard mama cryin' knew something wasn't right |
| [02:24.85] |
He was headed down to Knoxville with the weekly load |
| [02:27.62] |
You could smell the whiskey burnin' down Copperhead Road |
| [03:02.93] |
I volunteered for the Army on my birthday |
| [03:08.94] |
They draft the white trash first 'round here anyway |
| [03:14.74] |
I done two tours of duty in Vietnam |
| [03:20.96] |
And I came home with a brand new plan |
| [03:26.21] |
I take the seed from Colombia and Mexico |
| [03:32.34] |
I plant it up the holler down Copperhead Road |
| [03:38.15] |
Well the D.E.A.'s got a chopper in the air |
| [03:41.47] |
I wake up screaming like I'm back over there |
| [03:44.22] |
I learned a thing or two from Charlie don't you know |
| [03:47.21] |
You better stay away from Copperhead Road |
| [04:01.14] |
Copperhead Road |
| [04:07.01] |
Copperhead Road |
| [04:12.46] |
Copperhead Road |
