Well, my name's Donley Pettimore, same as my daddy and his daddy before.
You hardly ever saw granddaddy down here.
He only come a-town about twice a year.
He'd buy a hundred pounds of yeast and some copper line.
Everybody knew it and made him a shine.
[G] Now the revolution man wanted granddaddy [D] fat.
He'd left for Hollerill everything he had.
Before my time, the light had been told.
He'd never come back from Copperhead Road.
Now daddy ran a whiskey and a big black Dodge.
He bought it at an auction at the Mason's Lodge.
Shot some candy syrup painted on the side.
He just shot a coat of primer and ended up inside.
Well, him and my uncle tore that engine down.
I still remember that rumbling sound.
[G] Then the sheriff came around in the middle of [D] the night and something went [G] right.
He's headed down to Knoxville with a weekly [D] load.
Keep the smell of whiskey burning down Copperhead Road.

Volunteered for the Army on my birthday.
Dressed in a white dress first round here in the way.
I've done two tours of duty in Vietnam.
I came home with a brand new plan.
I take the seat from Columbia, Mexico.
Spreading up a hologram of Copperhead Road.
[G] I'm not a DJ, got a chopper in [D] the air.
Bigger screen, but I like it back over [G] there.
I learned a thing or two from Charlie, don't you know?
You better stay away from Copperhead Road.
Copperhead Road.
Copperhead Road.
