Well, my name's John Lippett M.
Moore, the same as my daddy and his daddy before.
You hardly ever saw my daddy down here.
He'd only come to town about twice a year.
He'd buy a hundred pounds of yeast and some copper lime.
And everybody knew that he made moonshine.
Now the revenue man wanted granddaddy bad.
Headed up the hollow with everything [D] he had.
Before my time, but I've been told,
He's never coming back from Copperhead Road.
Granddaddy ran whiskey in a big black Dodge.
He bought it at an auction at the Mason Wild.
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 can still remember that a-rumbling sound.
[G] Then the sheriff came around in the middle of the [D] night.
Heard Mama crying, something wasn't [G] right.
He was heading down to Knoxville with a wee-wee [D] load.
You could smell the whiskey burning down Copperhead Road.
Yeah!

I volunteered for the Army on my birthday.
They'd draft a wide-glass nurse around here anyway.
And I found the truth about being down.
And I came home with a perfect plan.
I'd take the seeds from Columbia and Mexico.
I'd just play me up a holler down Copperhead Road.
Granddaddy's got a chopper in the air.
The cow's a-streamlining back over there.
I learned those English truths in college, don't you know.
So you better stay away from Copperhead Road.
Yeah!
Copperhead Road.
Copperhead Road.
Copperhead Road.
