- Steve Earle
- Well my name's John Lee Pettimore
我的名字叫約翰·李·帕特莫
Same as my daddy and his daddy before
和我父親以及爺爺的名字相同
You hardly ever saw Grandaddy down here
你很少見我爺爺來這兒
He only came to town about twice a year
他一年只會來鎮子兩次
He'd buy a hundred pounds of yeast and some copper line
他會買一百磅酵母和一些銅線
Everybody knew that he made moonshine
大家都知道他在釀私酒
Now the revenue man wanted Grandaddy bad
稅務官瘋狂通緝他
He headed up the holler with everything he had
他賭上自己所有遠走高飛
'Fore my time but I've been told
這些事發生在我出生前，但我知道
He never came back from Copperhead Road
他永不會從銅斑蛇路上回來了
Now daddy ran the whiskey in a big block dodge
如今我父親的黑色道奇車裡裝滿了威士忌
Bought it at an auction at the Mason's lodge
這些酒他從曼森的小屋中拍賣得到
Johnson county sheriff painted on the side
鄉村警長喬納森正在一旁噴漆
Just shot a coat of primer then he looked inside
剛噴了一層底漆就發現了房內的事
Well him and my uncle tore that engine down
我爸和我叔叔把引擎拆了下來
I still remember that rumblin' sound
我仍記得那震耳的隆隆聲
Well the sheriff came around in the middle of the night
警長在深夜來到了我家
Heard mama cryin' knew something wasn't right
我聽到母親的哭聲，發現事情不對
He was headed down to Knoxville with the weekly load
父親背負著債逃往諾克斯維爾
You could smell the whiskey burnin' down Copperhead Road
你可以聞到威士忌在銅斑蛇路上燃燒
I volunteered for the Army on my birthday
生日這天我加入了軍隊
They draft the white trash first 'round here anyway
他們在此地徵召了一些白色垃圾（南方貧苦白人）
I done two tours of duty in Vietnam
我服役期間兩次開赴越南
And I came home with a brand new plan
回家後我想到一個全新的計劃
I take the seed from Colombia and Mexico
我從哥倫比亞和墨西哥買了一些種子
I plant it up the holler down Copperhead Road
把它們種在了銅斑蛇路旁
Well the D.E.A.'s got a chopper in the air
緝毒局的直升機發現了它們
I wake up screaming like I'm back over there
我從睡夢中尖叫著醒來彷彿我剛（從越南）回來
I learned a thing or two from Charlie don't you know
從越南我學到了一些東西（美軍對越共私下稱呼為Charlie）
You better stay away from Copperhead Road
你最好離銅斑蛇路遠一點
Copperhead Road
Copperhead Road
Copperhead Road
（歌詞的最後主人公患上了PTSD）
