Copperhead Road LRC歌词

[00:40.09]Well my name's John Lee Pettimore

[00:46.49]Same as my daddy and his daddy before

[00:52.61]You hardly ever saw Grandaddy down here

[00:58.85]He only came to town about twice a year

[01:04.58]He'd buy a hundred pounds of yeast and some copper line

[01:11.31]Everybody knew that he made moonshine

[01:16.98]Now the revenue man wanted Grandaddy bad

[01:20.42]He headed up the holler with everything he had

[01:23.57]'Fore my time but I've been told

[01:26.29]He never came back from Copperhead Road

[01:41.65]Now daddy ran the whiskey in a big block dodge

[01:48.09]Bought it at an auction at the Mason's lodge

[01:54.19]Johnson county sheriff painted on the side

[01:59.97]Just shot a coat of primer then he looked inside

[02:06.31]Well him and my uncle tore that engine down

[02:12.30]I still remember that rumblin' sound

[02:18.42]Well the sheriff came around in the middle of the night

[02:21.79]Heard mama cryin' knew something wasn't right

[02:24.85]He was headed down to Knoxville with the weekly load

[02:27.62]You could smell the whiskey burnin' down Copperhead Road

[03:02.93]I volunteered for the Army on my birthday

[03:08.94]They draft the white trash first 'round here anyway

[03:14.74]I done two tours of duty in Vietnam

[03:20.96]And I came home with a brand new plan

[03:26.21]I take the seed from Colombia and Mexico

[03:32.34]I plant it up the holler down Copperhead Road

[03:38.15]Well the D.E.A.'s got a chopper in the air

[03:41.47]I wake up screaming like I'm back over there

[03:44.22]I learned a thing or two from Charlie don't you know

[03:47.21]You better stay away from Copperhead Road

[04:01.14]Copperhead Road

[04:07.01]Copperhead Road

[04:12.46]Copperhead Road
