Steve Earle - Copperhead Road lyrics
Well my name's John Lee Petimore Same as my daddy and his daddy before Ya hardly ever saw Grandaddy down here He only come to town about twice a year He'd buy a hundred pounds o'yeast and some copperline Everybody knew that he made moonshine That revenue man wanted grandaddy bad He headed up the holler with evrything he had it was before my time but i've been told He never came back from copperhead road Now my daddy ran the whiskey in a big black dodge he bought it at an auction at the mason's lodge Johnson's county sherrif 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 Then the sherrif came around in the middle of the night heard mama cryin' knew somethin wasnt right he was headed down to knoxville with the weekly load u could smell the whiskey burnin down copperhead road I volonteered for the army on my birthday they draft the white trash first 'round here anyway i done two tours of duty in vietnam i came home with a brand new plan i take the seed from colombia to mexico i plant it up the holler down copperhead road well the DEA's got a chopper in the air i wake up screamin like im back over there i learned a thing or two from ol' charlie don't you know you'd better stay away from copperhead road copperhead road copperhead road copperhead road |
