[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
