I grew up in the Appalachian Mountains. Cut a few paths to a water source in my days. You can see the fires burning in the night. Sheriff would drive up in town and just say "The mountains on fire tonight." give a head nod to us with a "gentleman" as he pulled off. And everyone knows even the police, you better not go on that land uninvited. I was taught that you never mess with a man's copper unless you're prepared to go down copperhead road. The meaning implies the copper around the lead of the bullets. Good folks, but they don't play around. P.S don't be a government person trying to talk to them, there's a reason they stopped sending the census man around.
Reminds me of the movie "Lawless", set in depression era, Franklin County Virginia, with brothers running a moonshine operation. Tom Hardy and other good actors made for a very good movie.
Love the song first time hearing it! When I was young my Grandpa blew out the back of the Garage it was said that he was making moonshine! I can remember drinking something that he made from dandelions it was delicious and I can remember my Grandma would say to my Grandpa (Lester) do not be giving Judith Ann anymore of that Wine! Miss them both so much! ♥️♥️
that was dandilyon wine, I used to drink that stuff when I was 19, made my own many years later, great stuff!! Its a sweet wine but really messes you up.
My greatgrandaddy who passed before me was know pretty much as the town drunk, Western NC, close to TN. Caught up in moonshine bad, physically abusive to his wife, that whole mess. My Grandfather grew up humble and poor, never talked about his upbringing.. when i was older, relatives talked about how my great grandaddy one night was coming through the woods and saw Satan who said, "I'm comin' for ya". The next day, obviously everybody thought he was drunk or crazy but whatever he saw, it sobered him up in the early 1930s, never drank or hurt his wife again. This song reminds me of that and the Vietnam part stings. ❤❤❤
The lyrics tell a great true story of one man going through hardship and made a very good music with it. One of the most sung song for western dances in America. My respect that he served America so we enjoy what freedoms we have. I will always enjoy this great song for some of us also overcame circumstances we had to face through out our lives.
How can you not love this song! Steve Earle makes you feel it in a big way! Iconic lyrics and that dog passing in front of Steve in the last scene is a certain kind of wonderful!
Love the pipes intro. And recommend listen to this song with the lyrics. Very cool. When granddaddy comin round again lol. Copper head Rd yall Stuff happens.
@@raywilliams5972 it’s a joke “Dude”! Idk how old you are but for most of my life weed has been illegal! But now I have my med card I’m loving it! But again it was just a joke yes maybe not a good one! Lol
Mountain dew/ white Lightening was the original green fuel...for machine and man. Just don't have any ruptured fuel cells running errands and all is good with the world.
This song is on my playlist and the loser cops hack my phone and commented on top of the phone where I couldn't comment back black parents when they fail yep local fuzz round here called themselves jay 1 8 one of my friends who died mysteriously or it could be the FBI who knows I know people in some high places just to show ya law enforcement comments

Right on. This is one of my favorite songs. Ironically enough, LAWLESS is one of my favorite movies.
Holy 💩, what does that say about me? 🤣

That's because they respect women. But a man better not try sneaking around on their property.

Now the Official State Song of Tennessee.
This is absolutely brilliant. Bagpipes and a mandolin, too!
This was my dad's favourite song. It was played at his funeral. RIP
May he Rest In Peace ✌🏼 🙏
Thinking about family and tradition. Feel your hurt.😔
Good choice. GOD bless.
Yes... Feeling family vibes from this song. Sounds cliche, but genuinely sorry for your loss. Music is so bittersweet.
My father told me a story of when my grandma came home and found my grandpa blew up a whole pot of cherry whiskey

Klannity Tim, can you tell me how serving in the military saved our freedoms? War is for the rich to profit and the poor man dies, nothing else.
Live and die by the Copperhead Road!

Big block Dodge.. straight 8 cylinder fast powerful easy to modify & repair
Daddy ran whisky in a big BLOCK dodge.
The origin of NASCAR ?
Big block cars to outrun the law
I always thought that second verse said "...big BLOCK Dodge..."
Finally! Lyrics you can see and that are on the screen at the right time.
Earle played opening for Dylan, if you're clueless, that bonifiis, or honest praise is everything, to the knowing!
both are great storytellers
Love the pipes intro. And recommend listen to this song with the lyrics.
Very cool.
When granddaddy comin round again lol.
Copper head Rd yall
Stuff happens.
I'm wondering if the people who wrote this version of the song actually know what type engine was in that Dodge... Lol
Portsmouth south Plymouth cemetery bobs garage and jasper mills garage garage at the cemetery wtf going on

My family is from the dark corner. Everybody knew they made moonshine.

@@raywilliams5972 it’s a joke “Dude”! Idk how old you are but for most of my life weed has been illegal! But now I have my med card I’m loving it! But again it was just a joke yes maybe not a good one! Lol
@@raywilliams5972 Colombia and Mexico. Colombia kinda implies coke or else why even mention it when he already got bud seeds from Mexico?
@@fyou2327 Back in those days commercial Colombian $30.00 oz. Colombian Gold $40.00. It wasn't cocaine.
I love this song...and the dance..

My favorite song for hillbilly
This is an amazing song but too bad Steve Earl is a giant tool these days.
Whis charlie i don't think we all got introduced to him my guy
I’ve never understood what the big deal was about the government making home made liquor illegal. Something to do with taxes I guess.
All you have to do is read a book.
