Intro

(16 Bars)
Well my name's

John Lee Pettimore,
same as my daddy

and his daddy before
You hardly ever saw

Grandaddy down here

same as my daddy

and his daddy before
He'd buy a hundred pounds
of yeast and some copper line
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,

Everybody knew

that he made moonshine
Before my time
but I've been told

he never come back

from Copperhead Road
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

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
You could smell

the whiskey burnin' down

Copperhead Road
Huh! Huh! Huh!

Instrumental Break

(12 Bars)
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
They draft the white trash

first 'round here anyway
I take the seed from
Colombia and Mexico

I came home

with a brand new plan
I take the seed from

Colombia and Mexico

ljust plant it up a holler

down Copperhead Road
You better stay

away from

Copperhead Road
Wah!
Copperhead Road
Copperhead Road
Huh!
