[♪ I Am a Boy by The Prodigal Song begins playing ♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪Well my name's John Lee Pettimore♪Same as my daddy and his daddy before♪My granddaddy down here♪He only come to town about twice a year♪He'd buy a hundred pounds of yeast and some copper lime♪Everybody knew it would make money shine♪I'm a revenue man on a granddaddy bedHe left a holler left a thing aheadBefore my time well I've been toldNever come back from Copperhead Road♪♪♪♪My daddy ran a whiskey and a big block of cheese♪He bought it at an auction at the Mason's Lodge♪Shots of canister painted on the side♪He just shot a coat of primer and looked inside♪Well him and my uncle tore that engine down♪I still remember that rumbling sound♪Then the sheriff came around in the middle of the nightHeard mama crying that something wasn't rightHe's headed down to Knoxville with a weekly loadYou can smell the whiskey burning down Copperhead Road♪♪Hey!♪Hey!♪♪♪♪♪♪I volunteered for the Army on my birthday♪The draft of white trash first drafted away♪I done two tours of duty in Vietnam♪I came home with a brand new plan♪I take the seed from Columbia, Mexico♪Planted up a holler down Copperhead Road♪Now the DA's got a chopper in the airWe got screaming like back over thereI learned a thing or two from Charlie don't you knowYou better stay away from Copperhead Road♪♪♪Copperhead Road♪Copperhead Road♪Copperhead Road♪Copperhead RoadCopperhead RoadCopperhead RoadCopperhead Road
