Even the old folks never knewWhy they call it like they doI was wondering since the age of twoDown on CopperlineCopper head, copper beechCopper kettles sitting side by eachCopper coil, cup o’Georgia peachDown on CopperlineHalf a mile down to Morgan CreekLeaning heavy on the end of the weekHercules and a hog-nosed snakeDown on CopperlineWe were down on CopperlineOne Summer night on the CopperlineSlip away past supper timeWood smoke and moonshineDown on CopperlineOne time I saw my daddy danceWatched him moving like a man in a tranceHe bought it back from the war in FranceDown onto CopperlineBranch water and tomato wineCreosote and turpentineSour mash and new moon shineDown on CopperlineDown on CopperlineFirst kiss ever I tookLike a page from a romance bookThe sky opened and the earth shookDown on CopperlineDown on Copperline, yeahTook a fall from a windy heightI only knew how to hold on tightAnd pray for love enough to last all nightDown on CopperlineDay breaks and the boy wakes upAnd the dog barks and the birds singsAnd the sap rises and the angels sigh, yeahI tried to go back, as if I couldAll spec house and plywoodTore up and tore up goodDown on CopperlineIt doesn’t come as a surprise to meIt doesn’t touch my memoryMan, I’m lifting up and rising freeDown on CopperlineHalf a mile down to Morgan CreekI’m only living for the end of the weekHercules and a hog-nosed snakeDown on Copperline, yeahTake me down on CopperlineOh, down on CopperlineLay me down on Copperline
