[00:40.09] Well my name's John Lee Pettimore
[00:46.49] Same as my daddy and his daddy before
[00:52.61] You hardly ever saw Grandaddy down here
[00:58.85] He only came to town about twice a year
[01:04.58] He'd buy a hundred pounds of yeast and some copper line
[01:11.31] Everybody knew that he made moonshine
[01:16.98] Now the revenue man wanted Grandaddy bad
[01:20.42] He headed up the holler with everything he had
[01:23.57] 'Fore my time but I've been told
[01:26.29] He never came back from Copperhead Road
[01:41.65] Now daddy ran the whiskey in a big block dodge
[01:48.09] Bought it at an auction at the Mason's lodge
[01:54.19] Johnson county sheriff painted on the side
[01:59.97] Just shot a coat of primer then he looked inside
[02:06.31] Well him and my uncle tore that engine down
[02:12.30] I still remember that rumblin' sound
[02:18.42] Well the sheriff came around in the middle of the night
[02:21.79] Heard mama cryin' knew something wasn't right
[02:24.85] He was headed down to Knoxville with the weekly load
[02:27.62] You could smell the whiskey burnin' down Copperhead Road
[03:02.93] I volunteered for the Army on my birthday
[03:08.94] They draft the white trash first 'round here anyway
[03:14.74] I done two tours of duty in Vietnam
[03:20.96] And I came home with a brand new plan
[03:26.21] I take the seed from Colombia and Mexico
[03:32.34] I plant it up the holler down Copperhead Road
[03:38.15] Well the D.E.A.'s got a chopper in the air
[03:41.47] I wake up screaming like I'm back over there
[03:44.22] I learned a thing or two from Charlie don't you know
[03:47.21] You better stay away from Copperhead Road
[04:01.14] Copperhead Road
[04:07.01] Copperhead Road
[04:12.46] Copperhead Road
