Copperhead Road Meaning
| [[Verse 1] Well, my name’s John Lee Pettimore Same as my Daddy and his Daddy before You hardly ever saw Grandaddy down here He only come to town about twice a year He’d buy a hundred pounds of yeast and some copper line Everybody knew that he made moonshine Now, the Revenue man wanted Grandaddy bad Headed up the holler with everything he had Before my time, but I’ve been told He 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 He just shot a coat of primer, then he looked inside Well, him and my uncle tore that engine down I still remember that rumblin’ sound And then the Sheriff came around in the middle of the night Heard Mama cryin’, knew something wasn’t right He was headed down to Knoxville with the weekly load You could smell the whiskey burnin’ down Copperhead Road [Bridge] Hey! Hey! Hey! , [Verse 3] I volunteered for the Army on my birthday They draft the white trash first; ’round here, anyway I done two tours of duty in Vietnam I came home with a brand new plan I take the seed from Colombia and Mexico I just plant it up a holler down Copperhead Road And now the D.E.A.’s got a chopper in the air I wake up screaming like I’m back over there I learned a thing or two from Charlie, don’t you know? You better stay away from Copperhead Road [Outro] Whoa! Copperhead Road Copperhead Road Ha! Copperhead Road] |
