* PLAY RIFF 1 AFTER EACH VERSE LINE
Verse. DWell my name's John Lee Pettimore
Same as my daddy and his daddy before
DYou hardly ever saw Grandaddy down here
He only came to town about twice a year
DHe'd buy a hundred pounds of yeast and some copper line
Everybody knew that he made moonshine
Now the revGenue man wanted GraCndaddy bGad
DHe headed up the holler with everything he had
It's beGfore my time but I'Cve been toGld
DHe never came back from Copperhead Road
INTRO RIFF
Verse. DNow Daddy ran the whiskey in a big block Dodge
Bought it at an auction at the Mason's Lodge
DJohnson County Sheriff painted on the side
Just shot a coat of primer then he looked inside
DWell him and my uncle tore that engine down
I still remember that rumblin' sound
Well the sheGriff came around in the miCddle of the niGght
DHeard mama cryin', knew something wasn't right
He was heGaded down to Knoxville with the weCekly loGad
D (LET RING)
You could smell the whiskey burnin' down Copperhead Road
BREAK. D MUTE 4x
INTRO RIFF 2x G C G D 2X
Verse. DI volunteered for the Army on my birthday
They draft the white trash first,'round here anyway
DI done two tours of duty in Vietnam
And I came home with a brand new plan
DI take the seed from Colombia and Mexico
I plant it up the holler down Copperhead Road
Well the DEGA's got a choppCer in the air G
DI wake up screaming like I'm back over there
I leaGrned a thing or two from ol' ChaCrlie don't you kGnow
DYou better stay away from Copperhead Road
BREAK. D MUTE 4x
Outro. INTRO RIFF 4x
