[Verse]
D
Well my name's John Lee Pettimore
Same as my daddy and his daddy before
D
You hardly ever saw Grandaddy down here
He only came to town about twice a year
D
He'd buy a hundred pounds of yeast and some copper line
Everybody knew that he made moonshine
G C G
Now the revenue man wanted Grandaddy bad
D
He headed up the holler with everything he had
G C G
It's before my time but I've been told
D
He never came back from Copperhead Road
[INTRO RIFF]
[Verse]
D
Now Daddy ran the whiskey in a big block Dodge
Bought it at an auction at the Mason's Lodge
D
Johnson County Sheriff painted on the side
Just shot a coat of primer then he looked inside
D
Well him and my uncle tore that engine down
I still remember that rumblin' sound
G C G
Well the sheriff came around in the middle of the night
D
Heard mama cryin', knew something wasn't right
G C G
He was headed down to Knoxville with the weekly load
D (LET RING)
You could smell the whiskey burnin' down Copperhead Road
[Break]
D N.C. x4

[Verse]
D
I volunteered for the Army on my birthday
They draft the white trash first,'round here anyway
D
I done two tours of duty in Vietnam
And I came home with a brand new plan
D
I take the seed from Colombia and Mexico
I plant it up the holler down Copperhead Road
G C G
Well the D.E.A.'s got a chopper in the air
D
I wake up screaming like I'm back over there
G C G
I learned a thing or two from ol' Charlie don't you know
D
You better stay away from Copperhead Road
[Break]
D N.C. 4x
