steve earle - copperhead road (acoustic live) lyrics

[intro]
ladies and gentleman, the newest tennessee state song

[verse 1]
well, my name’s john lee pettimore
same as my daddy and his daddy before
hardly ever saw granddaddy down here
only come to town about twice a year
buy a hundred pounds of yeast and some copper line
everybody knew he made moonshine
now, the revenue man wanted granddaddy bad
headed up the holler with еverything he had
beforе my time, but i’ve been told
never come back from copperhead road

[verse 2]
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
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 sheriff come around in the middle of the night
heard mama cryin’, knew somethin’ wasn’t right
headed down to knoxville with the weekly load
smell the whiskey burnin’ down copperhead road
[bridge]
hey
hey

[verse 3]
volunteered for the army on my birthday
they draft the white trash first ’round here anyway
done two tours of duty in vietnam
i come home with a brand_new plan
i take seed from colombia and mexico
plant it up a holler down copperhead road
now the dea’s got a chopper in the air
wake up screamin’ like i’m back over there
learned a thing or two from charlie, don’t you know?
better stay away from copperhead road

[outro]
woo
come on
copperhead road
copperhead road
copperhead road
thank you so much
