The Title Song "Copperhead Road" Tells Of A Vietnam War Veteran Scion Of A Rural Moonshine Bootlegging Clan Who Returns Home To Johnson County Tennessee Copperhead Road Is An Actual Road Near Mountain City TN . The Song Also Inspired A Popular Line Dance Timed To The Beat Of The Song. The Line "I Learned A Thing Or Two From Ol' Charlie Don't You Know" Reportedly Refers To The Viet Cong VC Victor Charlie Normally Referred To As "Charlie" By American GIs Ability To Shoot Down A Helicopter With A Single Well-Placed Shot From A Sniper Rifle By Aiming At The Hydraulic Pump. Lyrics Well My Name's John Lee Pettimore
Same As My Daddy And His Daddy Before
You Hardly Ever Saw Grandaddy Down Here
He Only Come To Town About Twice A Year
He'd Buy A Hundred Pounds Of Yeast And Some Copper Line
Everybody Knew That He Made Moonshine
Now The Revenue Man Wanted Grandaddy Bad
He Headed Up The Holler With Everything He Had
It's Before My Time But I've Been Told
He Never Came Back From Copperhead Road 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
