D
Well my name's John Lee Pettimore

D
Same as my daddy and his daddy before

D
You hardly ever saw Grandaddy down here

D
He only come to town about twice a year

D
He'd buy a hundred pounds of yeast and some copper line

D
Everybody knew that he made moonshine

G                          Gsus4     G
Now the revenue man wanted Grandaddy bad

D
He headed up the holler with everything he had

G                 Gsus4     G
'Fore my time but I've been told

D
He never come back from Copperhead Road

D
Now Daddy ran whiskey in a big block Dodge

D
Bought it at an auction at the Mason's Lodge

D
Johnson County Sheriff painted on the side

D
Just shot a coat of primer then he looked inside

D
Well him and my uncle tore that engine down

D
I still remember that rumblin' sound

G                                   Gsus4         G
When the Sheriff came around in the middle of the night

D
Heard mama cryin', knew something wasn't right

G                                        Gsus4  G
He was headed down to Knoxville with the weekly load

D
You could smell the whiskey burnin' down Copperhead Road

D
I volunteered for the Army on my birthday

D
They draft the white trash first, 'round here anyway

D
I done two tours of duty in Vietnam

D
I came home with a brand new plan

D
I take the seed from Columbia and Mexico

D
I just plant it up the holler down Copperhead Road

G                          Gsus4          G
And now the D.E.A.'s got a chopper in the air

D
I wake up screaming like I'm back over there

G                             Gsus4             G
I learned a thing or two from Charlie don't you know

D
You better stay away from Copperhead Road

D
