Copperhead Road

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 100 pounds of yeast and some copper line
 Everybody knew that he made moonshine
 (Now the) Now the revenue man wanted grandaddy bad
 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 black 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) 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 Columbia and Mexico
 I plant it up the holler down Copperhead Road
 (Well, the) Well, the D.E.A.'s got a chopper in the air
 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
