    This is a REAL American Legend. A true talent, unlike todays posers, and fake media creations. A true talent.

      I hate when people trash new music just because they like a different genre or a different time, there's lots of talented people, clearly you're not a music fan if that's how you view things, there's lots of legends from back in the day but there's also lots of New Legends too, I love music, even if you don't like an artist you can still appreciate that they're doing something that you likely never could.

      @@RyanGamesYT I didn't even look up his political thoughts. When the other commenter stated political activist YOU KNOW THAT THEY ARE LEFTIES. Which really sucks, for many reasons. I stopped looking further into his career and went on to something else. Why don't political activists from the center or right get acknowledged? Are they the f word or the other f word....LOL....HAHA....EhEh? Weeeeee. Libs looked like rejects today...the day of the Mueller hearings. Noting the day.

      @vapormissile Před 5 lety +5

      Amen, man. I used to want to die young, but that was stupid, because as long as I stay young-at-heart the option remains open. He got so old that I assumed this video was a cover. Considering the alternative, getting old is fine.

    He talks about that tuning in another video. It’s double dropped D. D A D G B D. But he has a capo on the second fret but it only covers the bottom 5 strings so he can play a G chord easily.

    • @sixstringsoneway
      @sixstringsoneway Před 3 lety

    I’d never heard a stripped down acoustic version of this. That aspect reminds me a bit of the similarly minimalistic version of Whitehouse Road by Tyler Childers.

    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 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
    আচ্ছা আমার নাম জন লি পেটিমোর
    আমার বাবা এবং তার বাবার আগের মতোই
    আপনি এখানে খুব কমই দাদুকে দেখেছেন
    তিনি বছরে মাত্র দুবার শহরে আসেন
    তিনি একশ পাউন্ড খামির এবং কিছু তামার লাইন কিনবেন
    সবাই জানত যে তিনি চাঁদের আলো তৈরি করেছেন
    এখন রাজস্বের লোক দাদাকে খারাপ চেয়েছিল
    তিনি তার সব কিছু নিয়ে গর্জে উঠলেন
    এটা আমার সময়ের আগে কিন্তু আমাকে বলা হয়েছে
    কপারহেড রোড থেকে তিনি আর ফিরে আসেননি
    এখন বাবা একটি বড় ব্লক ডজে হুইস্কি চালান
    মেসন্স লজে একটি নিলামে এটি কেনা
    জনসন কাউন্টি শেরিফ পাশে আঁকা
    শুধু প্রাইমার একটি কোট গুলি তারপর তিনি ভিতরে তাকান
    আচ্ছা তিনি এবং আমার চাচা সেই ইঞ্জিনটি ছিঁড়ে ফেলেছিলেন
    সেই রাম্বলিনের শব্দটা আমার এখনও মনে আছে
    ঠিক মাঝরাতে শেরিফ এলো
    মামা কান্নাকাটি করতে শুনেছেন, জানেন কিছু ঠিক হচ্ছে না
    তিনি সাপ্তাহিক লোড নিয়ে নক্সভিলের দিকে যাচ্ছিলেন
    আপনি কপারহেড রোডের নিচে হুইস্কির গন্ধ পেতে পারেন
    আমি আমার জন্মদিনে সেনাবাহিনীতে স্বেচ্ছাসেবক হয়েছিলাম
    তারা প্রথমে সাদা আবর্জনার খসড়া তৈরি করে, 'যেভাবেই হোক এখানে
    আমি ভিয়েতনামে দায়িত্বের দুটি সফর করেছি
    আর আমি একদম নতুন প্ল্যান নিয়ে বাসায় আসলাম
    আমি কলম্বিয়া এবং মেক্সিকো থেকে বীজ নিতে
    আমি কপারহেড রোডের নীচে হোলার এটিকে রোপণ করি
    ঠিক আছে, D.E.A. এর বাতাসে একটি হেলিকপ্টার আছে
    আমি চিৎকার করে জেগে উঠি যেন আমি সেখানে ফিরে এসেছি
    আমি চার্লির কাছ থেকে দু-একটা জিনিস শিখেছি তুমি জানো না
    আপনি কপারহেড রোড থেকে দূরে থাকুন
    কপারহেড রোড
    কপারহেড রোড
    কপারহেড রোড
