1
Well my name's John Lee Pettimore
2
Same as my daddy and his daddy before
3
You hardly ever saw granddaddy down here
4
He only came to town about twice a year
5
He'd buy a hundred pounds of yeast and some copper line
6
Everybody knew that he made moonshine
7
Now the revenue man wanted granddaddy bad
8
He headed up the holler with everything he had
9
It's before my time but I've been told
10
He never came back from copperhead road
11
Now daddy ran the whiskey in a big block dodge
12
Bought it at an auction at the Mason's lodge
13
Johnson county Sheriff painted on the side
14
Just shot a coat of primer then he looked inside
15
Well him and my uncle tore that engine down
16
I still remember that rumblin' sound
17
Well the Sheriff came around in the middle of the night
18
Heard mama cryin', knew somethin' wasn't right
19
He was headed down to Knoxville with the weekly load
20
You could smell the whiskey burnin' down copperhead road
21
I volunteered for the army on my birthday
22
They draft the white trash first 'round here anyway
23
I done two tours of duty in Vietnam
24
And I came home with a brand new plan
25
I take the seed from Colombia and Mexico
26
I just plant it up the holler down copperhead road
27
Well the D.E.A.'s got a chopper in the air
28
I wake up screamin' like I'm back over there
29
I learned a thing or two, Charlie don't you know
30
You better stay away from copperhead road
31
