Lyrics

[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

Buy a hundred pounds of yeast and some copper line

Everybody knew that we 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 coming back from Copperhead Road

[Instrumental]

Make some noise for mister Josh Ross

[Verse 2]

Now, Daddy ran the whiskey in a big-block Dodge (C'mon)

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 (C'mon)

I still remember that rumblin' sound

Then the Sheriff came around in the middle of the night

Heard Mama cryin', knew somethin' wasn't right

He was headed down to Knoxville with the weekly load

You could smell the whiskey burnin' down Copperhead Road

[Bridge]

Let's go

Hey

[Instrumental]

Oh, you're gonna kill me, you'll probably kill me

[Instrumental]

I volunteered for the Army on my birthday

They draft white trash first 'round here, anyway

Two tours of duty in Vietnam

I came home with a brand-new plan

I take the seed from Colombia and Mexico, yeah

And I just plant it up a holler down Copperhead Road

And now the DEA's got a chopper in the air

I wake up screamin' 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]

Yeah

Nashville, let's go (Yeah)

Copperhead Road

Copperhead Road

Copperhead Road

Nashville

Give it up for the boys

[Instrumental]

Hell, yeah
