_ _ _ Well, my name's Donley Pettimore, _ _ _ same as my daddy and daddy before.
_ _ _ You hardly ever saw granddaddy down here.
_ _ He only come a-town about twice a year.
_ He'd buy a hundred pounds of yeast and some copper line.
_ _ _ Everybody knew it made me shine.
_ _ [G] Now the revolution man wanted granddaddy fat.
[D] He'd left for Hollerill everything fat.
[G] Oh, my time's a lot been told.
[D] He'd never come back from Copperhead Road.

_ _ _ _ My daddy ran a whiskey and a big black Dodge.
_ _ His father had an auction at the Mason's Lodge.
_ _ Shots of canister painted on the side.
_ _ He'd just shot cold a primer and looked inside.
_ _ _ Well, in my mouth I tore that engine down.
_ _ I still remember that rumbling sound.
_ _ [G] Then the sheriff came around in the middle of the [D] night.
He heard mama crying that something wasn't right.
[G] He headed down to Knoxville with a weekly load.
[D] He could smell the whiskey burning down Copperhead Road.

_ _ _ _ _ _ I volunteered for the Army on my birthday.

_ I've done two tours of duty in Vietnam.
I _ came home with brand new plans.
_ I take the seat from Columbia, Mexico.
_ _ _ Just planning to hop a hopper down Copperhead Road.
_ _ [G] I'm not a DJ, got a chopper in the [D] air.
Big ass street, but I like it back over there.
[G] I'm in the band too, Charlie don't you know.
[D] You better stay away from Copperhead Road.
