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

you make a good point - but you can't overlook the depth and richness of country and western, jazz, blues and rock thats influenced many a great band - from the stones, the who and the beatles to ac/dc, oasis, radiohead and the libertines :y

Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
With conquering limbs astride from land to land;
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand
Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command
The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.
"Keep ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she
With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!
8-) whats not to love? :y

Don Henley has one of the most underrated voices in rock, and is seriously underrated as a songwriter - 20 years from now we'll be hailing him as a genius 8-) 8-) 8-)

He upset the right: Basingstoke is a Tory constituency with an average IQ in single digits
Condemmed invasion of Iraq & Afganistan (quite rightly) & as for George Bush..................

Your from Perth, so you must be anti-american :P, unless you have a job at Elgin air force base ::)

Don Henley did the same thing in his native Texas,badmouthing Bush and his wars didnt go down too well,they booed him off the stage. ::)

Although he now lives in New York, Earle has balls enough to speak his mind, even in his native Texas and judging by the size of him would be able to defend himself too
