Why they call it like they do
I was wondering since the age of two
Down on Copperline
Copperhead, copper beech
Copper kettles sitting side by each
Copper coil,cup o' Georgia peach
Down on Copperline
Half a miile down to Morgan Creek
Leaning heavy on the end of the week
Hercules and a hog-nosed snake
Down on Copperline
We were down on Copperline
One summer night on the Copperline
Slip away past suppertime
Woodsmoke and moonshine
Down on Copperline
One time I saw my daddy dance
Watched him moving like a man in a trance
He brought it back from the war in France
Down onto Copperline
Branch water and tomato wine
Creosote and turpentine
Sour amsh and new moonshine
Down on Copperline
Down on Copperline
First kiss ever O took
Like a page from a romance book
The sky opened and the earth shook
Down on Copperline
Down on Copperline
Took a fall from a windy height
I only knew how to hold on tight
And pray for love enough to last all night
Down on Copperline
Day breaks and the boy wakes up
And the dog barks adnthe bird sings
And the sap rises and the angeks sigh,yeah
I tried to go back, as if I could
All spec house and plywood
Tore up and tore up good
Down on Copperline
It doesn't come as a surprise to me
It doesn't touch my memory
Man, I'm lifting up and rising free
Down on Copperline
Half a mile down to Morgan Creek
I'm only livingfor the end of the week
Hercules and a hog-nosed snake
Down on Copperline
We were down on Copperline
