Lyrics for Copperhead Road by Earle Steve:
| | | Artist: | Earle Steve |
| | Album: | Copperhead Road | | Track: | Copperhead Road | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 248 | | | | Lyrics: | 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
