I don't know how old this song is... but it's frickin' Sweet!! Just heard it the other night... Enjoy :rock:

Copperhead Road
(Steve Earle)

Well my name's John Lee Pettimore
Same as my daddy and his daddy before
You hardly ever saw Grandaddy down here
He only came 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

Pat Green Lyrics Who's To Say (Pat Green) I don't wear my shirt tucked in I like a little bbq on Sunday Well I hang out with a rougher crowd Who drink too much, who talk too loud Don't you know that it's all right with me Yeah I don't go to church too much, but I know that Jesus truly loves me And if he was here I'd be drinking beer and Hanging out and having all of my friends, Amen Who's to say and who are you to judge me anyway This is my road, I take the corner as fast as I can go Who's to say at how I got so lucky anyway I am my own at least until the Man comes and takes me home Well I got my mama's features, and my daddy's fixtures All day long I been looking at pictures wondering How in the hell they came up with me Well, I'm crazy as a loon, I'm howling at the moon My baby, she don't know what to do She's wondering how in the hell she's gonna stay with me Well, she's been to church more than Billy Graham And she knows the Bible like the back of her hand Yeah but she drinks like it's going out of style Oh, it makes me smile Yeah, who's to say and who are you to judge me anyway This whole world spins, never gonna take that chance again Yeah who's to say at how we got so lucky anyway We have a home, neither one of us will ever be alone It's a lesson of survival To ride out every trial It's the secret of forgiveness Way down deep inside Who's to say and who are you to judge me anyway This is my road, I take the corner as fast as I can go Yeah, who's to say at how I got so lucky anyway I am my own at least until the angels come Angels gonna come and take me home

I'd probably run for president of the southern states. The day Elvis passed away would be our national holiday. If the south woulda won we woulda had it made. I'd make my surpreme court down in Texas and we wouldn't have no killers getting off free. If they were proven guilty then they would swing quickly, instead of writin' books and smilin' on T.V. We'd all learn cajan cookin' in Luiousiana and I'd put that capital back in Alabama. We'd put Florida on the right track, 'cause we'd take Miami back and throw all them pushers in the slammer. Oh if the south woulda won we woulda had it made. I'd probably run for president of the southern states. The day young Skynyrd died, we'd show our southern pride. If the south woulda won we woulda had it made. "Play alittle dixieland boys. Ah yes!" I'd have all the whiskey made in Tennessee and all the horses raised in those Kentucky hills. The national treasury would be in Tupilo, Mississippi and I'd put Hank Williams picture on one hundred dollar bill. I'd have all the cars made in the Carolina's and I'd ban all the ones made in China. I'd have every girl child sent to Georgia to learn to smile and talk with that southern accent that drives me wild. I'd have all the fiddles made in Virginia, 'cause they sure can make 'em sound so fine. I'm going up on Wolverton Mountain and see ole Cliften Clowers and have a sip of his good ole Arkansas wine. Hey if the south woulda won we'd a had it made. I'd probably run for president of the southern states. When Patsy Cline passed away that would be our national holiday. If the south woulda won we'd a had it made. Olay he hee hee . I said if the south wouda won we would a had it made! Might even be better off!
