Copperhead Road (Acoustic Live) Steve Earle

[Intro]
Ladies and gentleman, the newest Tennessee state song

[Verse 1]
Well, my name's John Lee Pettimore
Same as my daddy and his daddy before
Hardly ever saw Granddaddy down here
Only come to town about twice a year
Buy a hundred pounds of yeast and some copper line
Everybody knew he made moonshine
Now, the revenue man wanted Granddaddy bad
Headed up the holler with еverything he had
Beforе my time, but I've been told
Never come back from Copperhead Road

[Verse 2]
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
Shot a coat of primer, then he looked inside
Well, him and my uncle tore that engine down
I still remember that rumblin' sound
Then the sheriff come around in the middle of the night
Heard Mama cryin', knew somethin' wasn't right
Headed down to Knoxville with the weekly load
Smell the whiskey burnin' down Copperhead Road
