Copperhead Road (live) 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 come to town about twice a year, he'd buy a hundred pounds of yeast and some copper line everybody knew that he made moon shine now the revenue man wanted grandaddy bad, he headed up the holler with everything he had, before my time but I've been told, he never come back from copperhead road now daddy ran the whiskey in a big black dodge, bought it in an auction at the masons lodge Johnson county sheriff painted on the side just shot coat of primer and they looked inside well him and my uncle tore that engine down I still remember that rumbling sound now the sheriff came round in the middle of the night, heard momma crying knew somethin' wasn't right he was headed down to Knoxville with the weekly load you could smell the whiskey burning down copper head road I volunteered for the army on my birthday they draft the white trash first draft here any way, I've done two tours of duty in Vietnam I came home with a brand new plan, I take the seed from colombia and Mexico just plant it in the holler down copperhead road. now the DEA's got a chopper in the air, I wake up screaming like I'm back over there, I learned a thing or two from Charlie don't ya know, you better stay aways from Copperhead road Copperhead road Copperhead road Copperhead road
