Copperhead Road - Steve Earle & Townes Van Zandt & Guy Clark
Now Daddy ran the whiskey
In a big block Dodge
Bought it at an auction
At the Mason's Lodge
Johnson County Sheriff
Painted on the side
Just shot a coat of primer
Then he looked inside
Well him and my uncle tore that engine down
I still remember that rumblin' sound
Well the sheriff came around
In the middle of the night
Heard mama cryin'
Knew something wasn't right
He was headed down to
Knoxville with the weekly load
You could smell the whiskey
Burnin' down Copperhead Road
I volunteered for
The Army on my birthday
They draft the white trash first
'Round here anyway
I done two tours of duty in Vietnam
And I came home with a brand new plan
I take the seed from Colombia and Mexico
I plant it up the holler down Copperhead Road
Well the D E A 's got a chopper in the air
I wake up screaming like I'm back over there
I learned a thing or two
From ol' Charlie don't you know
You better stay away from
Copperhead Road
Copperhead Road
Copperhead Road
Copperhead Road
