Well, my name's John Lee Pettimore, same as my daddy and daddy before.
You hardly ever saw granddaddy down here, he only come to town about twice a year.
He'd buy a hundred pounds of yeast and a copper line, everybody knew that it made him really shine.
Now [G] the revolution man wanted granddaddy bad, [D] he'd left for Hollerill everything he had.
[G] For my time, I've been told, [D] never come back from Copperhead Road.
My daddy ran a whiskey and a big black Dodge, my father had an auction at the Mason's Lodge.
Johnson County Sheriff painted on the side, just shot a coat of primer and a look inside.
Well, him and my uncle tore that engine down, I still remember that rumbling sound.
[G] Then the sheriff came around in the middle of [D] the night, heard mama crying that something wasn't right.
[G] He was headed down to Knoxville with a weekly load, [D] you could smell a whiskey burning down Copperhead Road.

I volunteered for the Army on my birthday, I grabbed a white dress, first round, third and a white.
I done two tours of duty in Vietnam, I came home with a brand new plan.
I take the seat from Columbia, Mexico, just the hell of a holler down Copperhead Road.
[G] I'm not a thief, I ain't got a chopper in here, [D] wake up screaming like a back over there.
[G] I wouldn't think it's you, Charlie don't you know, [D] you better stay away from Copperhead Road.
Copperhead Road, Copperhead Road, Copperhead Road.
