Steve Earle - "Copperhead Road" (Acoustic Cover)

Description

Here's a good old rockin' tune that I am very fond of! I sort of custom made the little intro seeing as I'm fresh out of bagpipes. *Lyrics* Well my name's John Lee Pettimore Same as my daddy and his daddy before You hardly ever saw granddaddy down here He only came to town about twice a year He'd buy a hundred pounds of yeast and some copper line Everybody knew that he made moonshine Well the revenue man wanted granddaddy bad He headed up the holler with everything he had It's before my time but I've been told You never come back from copperhead road Well daddy ran the whiskey in a big block dodge Bought it at an auction at the Mason's Lodge Johnson Country Sherrif painted on the side Just shot a coat of primer then he looked inside Well him and my uncle tore that engine down I still remember that rumbling sound Then the sherrif 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 burning down copperhead road I volunteered for the army on my birthday They draft the white trash first 'round here anyway I did two tours of duty in Vietnam And I came home with a brand new plan I'd take the seed from Columbia and mexico Plant it in the holler down copperhead road Well the DEA'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'tcha know You better stay away from copperhead road Copperhead road Copperhead road
