Well my names john lee pettimore[00:00:43]
Same as my daddy and his daddy before[00:00:50]
You hardly ever saw grandaddy down here[00:00:56]
He only came to town about twice a year[00:01:02]
Hed buy a hundred pounds of yeast and some copper line[00:01:08]
Everybody knew that he made moonshine[00:01:14]
Now the revenue man wanted grandaddy bad[00:01:20]
He headed up the holler with everything he had[00:01:23]
Its before my time but Ive been told[00:01:27]
He never came back from copperhead road[00:01:29]
Now daddy ran the whiskey in a big block dodge[00:01:45]
Bought it at an auction at the masons lodge[00:01:51]
Johnson county sheriff painted on the side[00:01:57]
Just shot a coat of primer then he looked inside[00:02:03]
Well him and my uncle tore that engine down[00:02:09]
I still remember that rumblin sound[00:02:15]
Well the sheriff came around in the middle of the night[00:02:22]
Heard mama cryin, knew something wasnt right[00:02:25]
He was headed down to knoxville with the weekly load[00:02:28]
You could smell the whiskey burnin down copperhead road[00:02:31]
I volunteered for the army on my birthday[00:03:06]
They draft the white trash first,round here anyway[00:03:12]
I done two tours of duty in vietnam[00:03:18]
And I came home with a brand new plan[00:03:24]
I take the seed from colombia and mexico[00:03:29]
I plant it up the holler down copperhead road[00:03:35]
Well the d.e.a.s got a chopper in the air[00:03:41]
I wake up screaming like Im back over there[00:03:45]
I learned a thing or two from ol charlie dont you know[00:03:47]
You better stay away from copperhead road[00:03:50]
Copperhead road[00:04:04]
Copperhead road[00:04:10]
Copperhead road[00:04:16]
