[FONT=Arial,Helvetica]Well my name's John Lee Pettimore[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial,Helvetica]Same as my daddy and his daddy before[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial,Helvetica]You hardly ever saw Grandaddy down here[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial,Helvetica]He only came to town about twice a year[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial,Helvetica]He'd buy a hundred pounds of yeast and some copper line[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial,Helvetica]Everybody knew that he made moonshine[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial,Helvetica]Now the revenue man wanted Grandaddy bad[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial,Helvetica]He headed up the holler with everything he had[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial,Helvetica]It's before my time but I've been told[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial,Helvetica]He never came back from Copperhead Road[/FONT] [FONT=Arial,Helvetica]Now Daddy ran the whiskey in a big block Dodge[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial,Helvetica]Bought it at an auction at the Mason's Lodge[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial,Helvetica]Johnson County Sheriff painted on the side[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial,Helvetica]Just shot a coat of primer then he looked inside[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial,Helvetica]Well him and my uncle tore that engine down[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial,Helvetica]I still remember that rumblin' sound[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial,Helvetica]Well the sheriff came around in the middle of the night[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial,Helvetica]Heard mama cryin', knew something wasn't right[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial,Helvetica]He was headed down to Knoxville with the weekly load[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial,Helvetica]You could smell the whiskey burnin' down Copperhead Road[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial,Helvetica]I volunteered for the Army on my birthday[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial,Helvetica]They draft the white trash first,'round here anyway[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial,Helvetica]I done two tours of duty in Vietnam[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial,Helvetica]And I came home with a brand new plan[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial,Helvetica]I take the seed from Colombia and Mexico[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial,Helvetica]I plant it up the holler down Copperhead Road[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial,Helvetica]Well the D.E.A.'s got a chopper in the air[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial,Helvetica]I wake up screaming like I'm back over there[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial,Helvetica]I learned a thing or two from ol' Charlie don't you know[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial,Helvetica]You better stay away from Copperhead Road[/FONT]
