_ _ _ Well, my name's Donley Pettimore, _ _ _ same as my daddy and daddy before.
You _ _ hardly ever saw granddaddy down here, _ _ he'd only come a-pant about twice a year.
_ _ He'd buy a hundred pounds of yeast and some copper line, _ _ _ everybody knew that he made me shine.
_ _ [G] Like a revolving man on a granddaddy's bed, [D] he'd lift the hollow of everything he had.
Before my time, the loud band told, he'd never come back from Copperhead Road. _ _

_ _ _ _ Granddaddy ran a whiskey and a big black Dodge, _ _ father had an auction at the Mason's Lodge.
_ _ Johnson County Sheriff painted on the side, _ _ just a coat of primer and a look inside.
_ _ _ Well, in my mouth, he tore that engine down, I still remember that rumbling sound.
_ _ Then the sheriff came around in the middle of the night, heard mama crying that something wasn't right.
[G] He's headed down to Knoxville with a weekly load, [D] you can smell the whiskey burning down Copperhead Road.

_ _ _ _ _ _ volunteered for the Army on my birthday, _ _ just wrapped a white dress first round there in a white gown.

_ I'd taken a seat from Columbia, Mexico, _ _ I just planted up a hundred down Copperhead Road.
_ _ [G] A night of these days, got a chopper in the [D] air, we got straight malac back over there.
[G] I learned a thing or two, but Charlie don't [D] you know, you better stay away from Copperhead Road. _ _ _
