Well, my name's John Lee Pettimore. _ _
_ Same as my daddy and his daddy before. _ _
_ Hardly ever saw granddaddy down here. _ _
He only came to town about twice a year. _ _
Buy a hundred pounds of yeast and two copper lines. _ _
_ Everybody knew that he made them shine. _ _
[G] Well, the revenue man wore the granddaddy [D] band.
Ended up the holler with everything he [G] had.
For my time, but I've been [D] told, never came back from Copperhead Road. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Well, daddy ran the whiskey and a big black dog. _ _
_ Father had an auction at the Mason Laws. _
_ Johnson County Sheriff came out on the side. _ _
Shot a probe of crime, really looked inside. _ _
Well, him and my uncle tore that engine down. _ _
I can still remember that rumbling sound. _ _
[G] Well, the sheriff came around in the middle of the [D] night.
Heard mama crying, knew something wasn't right.
[G] He headed down to Knoxville with a week in load.
[D] Could smell the whiskey burning down Copperhead Road. _ _ _ _ _ _
Hey! _ _ _ _ _
Hey! _ _ _ _ _ _ _

_ [A] _ _ [D] _ Volunteered for the Army on my birthday.
_ _ Got white trash purse around here anyway.
_ _ Did two tours of duty in Vietnam.
_ _ Now came home with a brand new plan.
_ _ Take a seed from Columbia, Mexico.
_ _ _ Planted up the hollowed-down Copperhead Road.
_ _ [G] Well, the DEA's got a chopper in the air.
[D] Wake up screaming like I'm back over there.
Learned it's danger too, or Charlie Johnson, [D] no.
Better stay away from Copperhead Road. _ _ _ _
_ _ Hey! _ _ _ _
_ _ Copperhead Road. _ _ _
_ _ Copperhead Road. _ _ _
