[Verse]
DWell my name's John Lee Pettimore
DSame as my daddy and his daddy before
DYou hardly ever saw Grandaddy down here
DHe only come to town about twice a year
DHe'd buy a hundred pounds of yeast and some copper line
DEverybody knew that he made moonshine
GNow the revenue man wanted Gsus4Grandaddy Gbad
DHe headed up the holler with everything he had
G'Fore my time but Gsus4I've been Gtold
DHe never come back from Copperhead Road

[Verse]
DNow Daddy ran whiskey in a big block Dodge
DBought it at an auction at the Mason's Lodge
DJohnson County Sheriff painted on the side
DJust shot a coat of primer then he looked inside
DWell him and my uncle tore that engine down
DI still remember that rumblin' sound
GWhen the Sheriff came around in the Gsus4middle of the Gnight
DHeard mama cryin', knew something wasn't right
GHe was headed down to Knoxville with the Gsus4weekly Gload
DYou could smell the whiskey burnin' down Copperhead Road

[Verse]
DI volunteered for the Army on my birthday
DThey draft the white trash first, 'round here anyway
DI done two tours of duty in Vietnam
DI came home with a brand new plan
DI take the seed from Columbia and Mexico
DI just plant it up the holler down Copperhead Road
GAnd now the D.E.A.'s got a Gsus4chopper in the Gair
DI wake up screaming like I'm back over there
GI learned a thing or two from Gsus4Charlie don't you Gknow
DYou better stay away from Copperhead Road
