About the Artist
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
