Copperhead Road (Acoustic Live)

[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
