#SteveEarle #CopperheadRoad #Remastered
March 2024- Revisiting a time-tested Earle classic after a good friend and wife went to see him last night at the Grand Ole Opry. I shared that I too saw him in his youth right after he released the Copperhead Road album (late 1980s). If you like this album, check out his previous album, EXIT O. Steve Earle is a genuine American treasure.

And he's coming to my hometown to perform in June. Really looking forward to the show.
A real treaure
Ok
Счастливый человек!
Yes. An absolute classic. A masterpiece. Written and performed.. This song will never get old.
💫
Back when Charlie never put sugar in anyone's gas tank.
YEAH...LOVE IT!!!
As all things, it will be buried in the trash can of time...
And listening to it and watching the video, neither will we.
This in my honest opinion is one of the best songs ever made... 2024 and still jamming
I lived in the swamps of Florida for years lol we made a lot moon . Haha
Ya ok you sang you did 2 in nam I call BS

This is an awesome song but best song ever made? Really? You sure missed out on a lot of good music in the last 36 years then 🤦🏼♂
This song and man of constant sorrow the two most badass country songs ever written.
I stumbled on Steve Earle..yesterday
And now for the last 24hrs it's all I can hear in my head. I'm in my 70's and at this age I'm enjoying the trip. I don't want it to disappear. Anyone out there is welcome to enjoy the trip with me. Thanks for the upload.
✌Peace!✌
So did i, I was watching top gear east coast trip and this was playing in a tyre shop where Jeremy stopped at, and one of the guys who works there was dancing to this
Much love and congrats on expanding your music library! I'm 51 with the early onset of dimintia as a complication from MS. I much like yourself, am branching my music out. It's a great release from a problematic world. Stay strong and keep on rocking bud.
@@bradheath4200 ubet. Peace ✌
His son was awesome too, God rest his soul Justin Townes Earle.
It is a catchy song love 😘❤️ it !! ❤️😘😂💕👍
if this song was a movie,
I would watch it all day.
Watch the moonshine movie with Tom Hardy
+Jeremy Fisher Amen

+Ronnie Owens thunder road is americana undiluted. never doubt it, brother

Who couldn't love Steve Earl?!❤
He not only is cute but kicks butt as a rocker
I know right!❤ BTW it's "Earle"
Good old moonshine 😅
Cures whatever ails ya.
have you heard his newwer stuff? THATS a reason
January 2nd, 2025...any one else here? Love Steve Earle's music
One of the greatest songs ever written. An American classic.
Lol I'm kinda related he's my mom's exes cousin
Dang
I’m Swedish and I like the authentsity❤
Facts .... Here is a wee reminder from Scotland 🏴 ,. To get this back on. Blastin loud pround.😁..... Much respect to ya,
🤜🤛
Absolutely
Dude, you don't have to be American to enjoy this story. You get the whole story, in true Appalachian style and set to a haunting strong tune full of country music. Every American knows the history and romance of moonshine. Its still being made and still just as unique! First time I tried it, my lips burnt, tongue tingled and I felt it down to my toes.
I used to turn up at tamworth, early Sunday morning, to see the bluegrass championship's, back in the day..(best thing was cooling one's heels at paradise after?)😅
I tried some real Tennessee moonshine my dad brought home one day.
I burnt like fire and tasted like petrol! It was horrible!
That was my last taste of moonshine. None for me, thanks 🥵🤮
@@beatlesrgear Unfortunately that was actual 'bootlegger moonshine', not the artisinal refined recipes by people who actually take the care and time to perform proper fractional distillation, get out all the nasty stuff, and keep only the good tasting liquor, proof it to 50%abv so it doesn't rot your stomach lining, and you can have a taste of heaven better than anything you can buy at a liquor store when done right.
@@beatlesrgear,Aww that, s really to bad. I'm so sorry to hear that. It happens to a lot of ppl actually. Who ever made that should be ashamed to ever let anyone get that swill. As a descendant of a shiner from Copperhead Rd. I can assure you that if you ever get to taste any made there, you will never want anything else. At 140 to 190 proof depending on what part of the run ya get, it's all so 😅 smooth you don't even feel it go down but then it hits nice and warm on its way back up. Flavor depending on what it's made from, I prefer corn because It gives a nice corn flavor and it's delicious if made right. But you never realize you are drinking some licker that's twice the proof of regular licker untill you get a couple in ya. Suddenly out nowhere you are quite buzzed. That's real moonshine.
@@albertmueller6616 Gotta be sour mash corn. Leave the "sugar liquor" (aka white rum) to the tourists.
Not a country music fan at all, but damn, this is a great song. Still a banger over 35 years after it was released…….
Country, soft rock,.. -Whatever.... I just know that it's a GREAT song 🎙️🎸
They play it on classic rock stations as well.
Still listening. The CD is in my car. 2024.
Probably the best country rock song ever...
Exactly this was my thought a minute ago.
Greg Shea this ain't country
+Trever G why not?
Greg Shea Yea this is way more country than what they call country today
In Australia we have a genuine old school and very popular country singer...Lee Kernaghan...He does a very good cover..It doesn't quite have the angst of the original..
It got a fair bit of airplay here back in the day.
Both a 60, 80s, and 90s song at the same time. Masterpiece
Love a song that has a story with a haunting melody. This band rocks!
Check out "The Guitar" by Guy Clark
Same same
Yes ofcourse 👍🏻
Copperhead Road never dies
No one can ever replace this song, it's one of a kind. And it will always be reminberd

Miss these times. Best yrs of my life
I agree@@V0rtexM
I guess that is English somewhere. Leave your cousins alone hahaha
My five times great grandfather, born in Scotland, moved to America in early 1770s. Lived in Philadelphia til after the War of Independence. He was in the Militiamen who fought the British. After America was free, he moved to Ross's Landing, now known as Chattanooga, TN. He died in 1831 and is buried in Blount County, TN. Of him it was said, even in his published obit, that he made the finest whiskey known to man. There were no laws at that time prohibiting folks from making their own. I imagine that this would have been some of the early beginnings of whiskey making in Tennessee. So the Moonshine heritage in Tennessee dates WAY back
History makes us
Interesting
That's awesome that your family knows their history that good. 🤙
@jacobrobinson175 There has been a tremendous amount of research done by a huge number of people. I have a copy of a photo of my 6th great grandfather's grave in Scotland. Emailed to me by his descendants (my relatives) who still live there.
... and thats just damn cool, GO GREAT GRAMPA THE 5th!..this one reason why I love the U.S.A.!! THANK YOU!!
I've always thought this would make an awesome movie. Vietnam vet who's family has a history of moonshining and rumrunning starts a pot farm, gets the DEA on his trail, then uses Viet Cong tactics to outsmart them and fight back. Tell me you wouldn't watch that movie.
I would love that
I would absolutely watch it!
Your not wrong
Who would be the main actor?
@@CanoeToNewOrleans would have to be someone who would look like he came from the hills of Tennessee. I don't know if he has any acting skills but Ryan Upchurch would probably be perfect. He's from Tennessee so wouldnt need any linguistics training to get the accent down, he mentions moonshine in his songs several times so I'm sure he's at least familiar with the process. Another one that would be perfect if he were 50 years younger would be willy nelson
Who's listening and chillin out with some great tunes. Tequila time anyone else. 2024!!!!
Tequila right now 🤪😜😋

Doesn’t matter what style of music you think this is. It’s the most brilliant storytelling you’ll ever hear.
youre spiritual being
Bob Dylan is the best story teller pal
Pure Americana Brothers and Sisters. This is an American tale! Many of us have lived this story,or one similar.
Slim Dusty with 107 Albums rates a mention!
My great grandfather was a moonshine runner from the age 8 in Kentucky, once he married my great grand mother all was put to a halt..However, in his shop sat a secret covered small still for hunting season & the boys it was tucked away in the corner as it was a top secret operation..Shhh..our secret, Lol. My great grandmother found it a few times thru the year & out it went!
One of the greatest songs ever written. I'm lucky enough to have seen him play it live.
I’d like to see him live …. Unfortunately he doesn’t come around where I’m from too often that i know of…. Been a fan of his since the early 80s
lucky bastard
Now that definitely makes me jealous. I love the 2 step beat. I'd be 2 steppin away! Woo!
Me too, 3 x
That would have been awesome
One of the best songs ever written imo. Always loved this song.
I never understood why my mom loved this song so much.
I'm an adult now (ugh) and totally get it. Fuck yes
@@minmatenx It reaches something down deep.
December 8, 2024 and still turned on to Copperhead Road.
Steve Earl singing this song makes me feel alive. Paints a picture better than paint. Thanks for putting this on
Yes. An absolute classic. A masterpiece. Written and performed.
I agree totally
Can’t go to a bar and not hear this😃😃. More popular than ever
Una grande performance,per una canzone molto bella!😊😍😘🎶🎸🎸🎸🎶💘💓💋💯🌅
masterpiece? 😂
hillbillies are silly AF. 😂
Phenomenal song! Ive had the honor of working as a gas/oil pipeline inspector till I retired a few years ago. Seeing the embodiment of "Copperhead Road" in a few locals always made me smile. Country folks making a living the best they can. Thats grass roots America. I wish I could load up and do it again.
Did he pass away
@@joegustavson5623He’s 69 now and still with us,sure hope he was caught in the “hurricane”.
Still here, December 2024. I love that rumbling sound.❤️❤️❤️
how about now in 2025
@DaggerXP still here in 2025.
@ i bet your happy i prob got you listening to a great song again
youre welcome
Still one of the greatest country rock songs ever
I need more country rock. Recommendations?
@@glaxko2 Glad you asked! I'm 64, have a lot but I'll start with Old97's who we are going to see soon. Try songs, Murder(or a heart attack), Nineteen, Time bomb for starters. Also Poco, You better think twice and Grand Junction and Ozark Mountain Daredevils, If you want to get to Heaven. Enjoy and give me your opinion!
@@peteshallcross787 hey Pete thanks for the suggestions. A good friend of mines last name from college was Shallcross. He was from PA.
Yeah, it’s straight Outlaw Rock! I love to watch all the reactions from this amazing tune. People from every walks of life love it. Moonshine is just another part of our history, and the real stuff would only take a small bit and knock you down. I use to always keep some in my fridge with some fruit in it so it wouldn’t burn so bad going down. The real stuff will catch on fire, that’s how you know it’s real. Great tune. Will love it forever!
@@glaxko2 KOE WETZEL
This classic never gets old! Such an awesome story that is told.
Always been a huge fan of Steve Earle. I saw him live in Birmingham UK about 15 years ago, he played unsupported for about 2-3 hours. One of the finest musicians I've ever had the privilege of seeing.
Wow that is cool
Listening to these tunes for about 35years
Just imagine, county, rock, and Scottish music 100's of years old. Fantastic!
I totally agree 😆
Oh geez u really hit the nail on the head. I have black Scott in my ancestors and does have that rhythm.
That's were all the Appalachian mountain folk came from.
If we don't fight back this way of life is gone.
Or Irish.
This is another song that has stood the test of time, and will continue to do so!! Love Steve Earle.
Hello
How are you doing
Thanks for your support ❤️❤️❤️

This is the song for my dad, who fought in Vietnam, it will always be precious to me. ❤️
So didn't my Uncle. God bless them
@AmazonEspionage I'm Aussie and we pulled out just as I was becoming eligible for the draft. Dodged that bullet.
No doubt

I had a Pap like the man in the video. He taught me to weld at about 5 and to ride horses at about 1. He was from Salt Lick Kentucky. He fought for this country and lived for his family. He left this earthly plane this year. I hope he made it back down to Copperhead Road. RIP RBP.
My Pop left this year too. When he was young he spent some time in SE Asia, Airborne, Army Special Forces. I wouldn't be surprised if they made small talk while they were waiting in line at The Gate. Merry Christmas-
Rip your dad.
I lost mine too bro.
I'm in Oz.
My dad was same also.
We are all now hard core.
Peace bro.

thanks for that. he was an amazing story teller, so i am sure he had em laughing.

I just heard this doing one year ago. O I love it .

Same here
Once in awhile there comes a song that will stand alone forever! This will be one of those!
This is one of my go to songs
I love this song. I feel it in my bones. I was in Basic training, two days after my 18th birthday in 1985.. I volunteered because I knew I wasn’t going to graduate and had no idea what to do with my life. I became a Cobra Crew Chief and it changed my life.
Great song. Great music and story. Also my favorite line dance number to Thunderfoot.
@@N21X great story! I hope you're doing well 🙂
Damn straight son.
This song should be added to America history
Alongside Brandon's aviators
It sure is my family's history. Family comes from Caryville/Knoxville/clinchmore and that's how we made our living for a loooooong time.
I’m Canadian and this song is American history to me lmao

Timeless story, history
Appalachian country rock at its most unique and best!!
Dance time!
This is one of the best stories ever told Earle style! ❤
I’m 15 this was my dad’s favourite song he passed away recently and hearing this song again brings back so many memories miss you dad
♥️
My Dad died a few years back, he loved this song too, he'd strum this song on his old Gibson guitar, and he sang this song and many others with all his heart. Cherish the memory of your dad bro, we are only here for a short time.
Sorry for your loss.
Sorry for your loss Buddy. You hang in there.
I'm so sorry for your loss. This song reminds me of all the stories I heard about my great grandfather, who I never met. These songs are timeless and unforgettable, hold on to them! ❤❤❤
Copperhead road is an absolute timeless classic. It ranks right up there with any song that was ever recorded. Freaking awesome! Steve Earle, God bless!
Agree!!!
Les - and freaking honest!
Everytime I hear it makes me want to have drink of Moonshine.
AWESOME!!!!!
Daughters wedding is next week. This is one of the songs she picked for her dance. Rather proud
Stay together Forever!
Awesome to hear:)
Best wishes Charlie
God you raised her right congrats friend!
I hope you folks had a fantastic time.
We don’t know each other, but I truly wish you nothing but joy, good luck, and endless opportunities. You deserve it.
It just doesn't get better than this. After all these years, nothing beats it.
I am not kidding when I say this is the best song of all time
1 of
I agree it is easily one of the best songs ever written.
Probably.
It's not the best song of all time but it's pretty good. Tom Cochrane life is a highway is the greatest song of all time
I am a lover of many kinds of music from classical to metal to trance, but this stuff hits differently. This is pure gold!
great tune having bud
@@bobprescott I never smoked it, but I bet it would be :D
@@an0ana i don't understand
I thought you meant pot, not the beer. Sorry for the confusion ♥
I went to raves in the 90's my buddy who promoted several,I backed a few with cash (insurance was needed along many things,hall rental,warehouse rentals)..I love Country Western,Rock of all era and you got it Trance(love a lot of remixes)...I even like Jazz and the Blues,rarely listen to those but still like them,usually Christmas time I get the feel for them..
Oddly as a car guy I just stick with classic Chrysler products(Mopar) 60's Dodge Charger's,70's Cuda's,Super Bee's etc...I love all types of music but one type of car.I love cruising in them with my music blasting,I have a modern hidden system in a few of them..Nothing better than driving and listening to the radio and hearing the big block Dodge V8 rumble!
We have music somewhat in common and I bet I am way older than you lol..early 50's but look young & fit..Happily married and 4 kids...
Have a Great Summer&Life! Remember when you feel down blast some uplifting music!! It helps!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY Steve Earle
Bluegrass a Goidelic Copperhead music phenomenen, we must never lose touch with our true CELTIC roots. Love this number by the ONE and ONLY Steve Earle.
makes me want to clog!!!
I have often called this "Celtic Rock".
Another good one AC/DC "It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock 'n roll".
CELTIC ROCK....think about it.
(and that's a hard "k", children, not a soft "s" pronunciation on Celtic!!! I don't give a damn what the Boston basketball team says!!!)
Hello
Celtic roots. Thanks for the reminder
Anyone out there still love this? Come on Americans!
I love it
Damn right I do!!!
Not American,British and Proud,What a Tune.....
Found this a few years ago loved it ever since.
Nope
One of my favorite driving songs ever
surely whilst drinking copperhead cider?

Always one of my favorites. I'm 56, old man but I have 9 and 5 year old daughters. They've got such a range of taste in music and old fashioned values. I hope there are more like them keeping this alive.
59 HERE AND MUSIC AND STRINGED INSTRUMENTS ARE MY PASSION.MY KIDS 40,38,32 WOULD NEVER HEAR THIS UNLESS I CRANK IT FOR THEM.RUSH IS ACTUALLY MY FAVORITE BAND EVER BUT I LOVE ALL GENRES EXCEPT RAP AND HIPHOP,THEY GOT NOTHING ON STEVE EARLE
i just turned 60 my son's 17 he grew up with my vinyl collection and boy can he swing a guitar..so proud 😭
18 here. Still have a love for cassettes from days gone and dentside Fords. When I get one I’ll have to name it Copperhead… can swing a hammer, weld a bead, skin a coon and love to read. I’ll keep them old times alive mister. Don’t you worry.
I am 73 and have been listening to this for over many years and it just gets better with time.
51 here and My 19& 27 year old daughter's know the song and it's meaning in the history of East Tennessee
Love this song.....it NEVER gets old....I was shocked to see it came out in 1988! Wow...what a classic...thank you Steve Earle!
He was so sexy.
😮😮😮, where the fuck was I in 88 🤣🤣
1988? I thought it came out before that.
@@mmasque2052 Yes, that’s when the album was released. But I used to catch him at the clubs, quite often, in the early 80s, & I’m positive I had heard it by ‘83.

Best use of bagpipes beyond ACDC. Love the pulled back roll of this song. Love that rumbling sound.

December 17 2024 a big yeehaw from UK - I am here every week or so - my all time favourite!
I actually grew up on copperhead road and this song is more truth than you would think! This song reminds me of those days when mountain justice was real and life was simpler.
You brah, you Ozarks too? (LOL)
Top side of Alabama to and from Tennessee.
Seems a lot more simple and effective, think we need to get back to those principles
The song is about Northeast Tennessee and the Smokeys not Arkansas and the Ozarks
@@tweetuums I realize this , and hope you realize that the majority of the earliest settlers in the Ozarks have DEEP and FOUNDATOINAL roots that began in TN & KY, therefore those spaces are ALSO SPECIAL to us.

He didn't write nor sing it first. There is actually another verse which he had to cut out because this song is about a young lady being bad ass. Look up Amy' N Me Lyrics way better
@@sooziem3610 I never sign in and write comments, but I have to correct this. He is credited with writing the song.
@@kab62479 I replied a long time ago to someone else and stated that I stand corrected. There is video done by a band with a woman singing, she added an extra verse. It was great as well. A must watch.
I just love the opening of this song, that Scot-Irish style with the pipe sounds. The whole song is great but that opening gives me chills everytime I hear it.
Yeah
agreed. i feel the same way in part because the scot-irish moved across the atlantic and settled in hillbilly mountain country (W Virginia, Kentucky) like they came from. nice to be able to appreciate your heritage and not be attacked for it as being not politically correct
@@texasrebelsoul1102 There's never anything wrong with celebrating your heritage. There had never been anything wrong with it.
But what is wrong is insisting that yours is the best, your are or should be more superior than others because of that heritage, and others are subhuman, don't add or have anything of value, and shouldn't celebrate theirs.

Appalachian music
Hell Yeah! Nov 2024 n still a top song in my music list❤
This song never grows old.
I keep returning to this song, over and over! It strikes a cord in my life: pulsating music and an incredible story. Not much rock'n'roll comes close to such a salient story line with great music! One of the best of American music.
Steve's a master of the Outlaw Country genre. Tells a great story while playing an absolutely amped up melody. A real talent!
Shine runners!
He didn't write nor sing it first. There is actually another verse which he had to cut out because this song is about a young lady being bad ass.
Look up Amy' N Me. The lyrics are way better.
Soozie M, Steve Earle wrote and sang the original Copperhead Road. Amy N' Me just added another verse. Also, it's big "block" Dodge; not big black. I thought it was a fine cover of this Steve Earle classic. Always make sure to give proper credit to the original artist, because it's the proper thing to do, and major record labels aren't known for their kindness when it comes to copyright infringement. Take care!
Odd for a guy to be a master of a genre he personally hates. He’s a pretentious junkie. Nothing outlaw about that.

You got good taste in music, kid. Keep rockin.
For my father. I dedicate this comment. Dad loved Steve as much as he loved us kids. He used Steves song to teach us about life. I brought him this album and he was so happy 😄 I will always play this not only out of respect for my father but for the pure awesomeness of Steves music.

J'espère que vous et votre famille vivez en paix mon ami. Je vis dans les montagnes des Appalaches de la Virginie, États-Unis. I hope you and your family are living in peace my friend. I live in the Appalachian Mountains of Virginia, USA.
This was my grandpa’s favorite song no matter what he was doing if it came on the radio he had it up as loud as it would go. They played it at his funeral back in September of 21 and I play this song everyday. The only video I have with his voice in it is him dancing and singing to this song
Great memories! Thanks for sharing! Makes me smile.
Sorry for your loss. It’s good you keep your Grandfather’s memory alive.
I would love to hear it. miss my grandpa. much love. 👍
God bless both of You!,.✨
That's a beautiful memory.
It's nearly Christmas 2024. I'm 56 yo and I came to share this song with my eldest Son Ezra because it is such a beautiful song. And I couldn't help myself but get caught up in all of the emotional but uplifting messages of family and friends that everyone has left here. I can't remember the last time that I read and read without seeing a single "Negative " comment or reply. I hope everybody who sees my comment has a wonderful life whenever it is that you may read this. Be blessed.
Christmas Day and it's the only song I've enjoyed today.
I'm with ya!
Gypsy King...absolute respect. Welcome to the Copperhead Road Family. ✌
You made my day better
Thank you so much, good energy!
My dad passed away 3 weeks ago.I once asked him what was his favorite country song he pretty much only listened to rock and he said this was his favorite country song and I never thought about it again until he passed. I heard it for the first time at his memorial abd I’ve listened to it a good 37,000x’s since. Damn good choice dad!
I'm sorry for your loss. Your dad had good taste!
Salute

I love this song. My 14 yr old grandson loves it also . 2023 and people still love it. We need to bring all this music period back. 60s and 70s. Miss them.
Fully agree sir
😂😊
❤😊
@@MegaLacman not a sir..but that's cool
And 80's. This song was released in '88.
They will still love it in 3023
I remember when this song came out. It was a monster, played on Rock and Country radio stations at the same time. That is a very rare thing and not often duplicated by anyone.
we had a radio show called the outlaw hours every Friday and Saturday night. It started at 9 pm and you could bet by 10 this song was coming on
Well it’s a great song. Newer country tried to add rap or other things and there’s just nothing comparable to this song.
@@koltoncrane3099 I agree. 2nd time I heard it, I called the station to ask DJ who was it. He obliged. A Ballad for real will be around for decades.
I have a Copperhead Road sign on the door of my man cave
My hubby can play & sing the hell outta this!!!!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
A classic that holds up through time!
Steve Earle … “Copperhead Road” …
IMMORTAL ✌🏻🇺🇸
Timeless music!

A cheap talentless remake of another greyneck song country boy can survive, for the inbreds that somehow missed hank Jr. or took the bob segar song turn the page as life advice.

@@josephbrickey7045 what?
im 16 and im playing this song and it badass song
good lad , i`ll have you cooking the good shit in no time
Are you still listening at age 23?
Dad used to love this, heard it so many times as a teenager. Now listening 25 years later it sounds even better. Miss ya Dad.
Den E rip bro
Den E i used to listen to this with my father on road trips when I spent my summers with him. I listen to this song whenever I miss him. It’s magic. Still makes me close to him. Few people will ever have that connection.
Den E amen me too bro
again thanks keep sending your favorite song
Den E here's to Dads everywhere
He nailed this one..
My Dad made sure we listened to this song every UT game day. Being from Knoxville it was important to him to remember how his family came up. Now I play it for my 7 week old daughter and she falls asleep almost immediately every time. Special song to me and my family. Very cool so many people think so too.
Go Vols!
This song will never get old
No no it won't its an amazing song shame there aint many around anymore
This is my new jam I just discovered it today.
Swear to God it won't lol! My hype up song
True that bro
This old veteran loves this song. It's an old style story song like you used to hear in authentic country music. Brings life to the characters. Best line in the song" they draft the white trash first".
I’m in my mid-60’s now…had two older brothers in Vietnam at the same time, one Navy and one Army. Then years later I married an Air Force Vietnam vet. The beginning of this song reminds me of my brother TJ who was a helicopter door gunner
First, thanks for your service! Also, I couldn’t agree more about the storytelling aspect, and I’m glad you said authentic country music (referring to the old stuff). You nailed that. Johnny Cash is my favorite, and when I hear this great song, his storytelling ability reminds me of Cash.
my rother servd in Nam he learned a thing or two in vietnam
Ever listen to 1814 battle of new Orleans? I bet you like it too. Big John, Tennessee Stud... more really great ones.
It’s true. Dodge it every time, boys.
This is an absolute classic that will last forever.

u dnt kno
Yes
This what made money for immigrant Americans for years and still to this day! Survival! I miss these stories.
Copperhead Road is a real road here in Johnson County, TN. People keep stealing the road signs though.
One of the best songs ever
+Joyce Stalhut
Its a sticker.
Yep
One the top 5 for me.
And I'm an old fucker.
Look a lot like that father drinkin an drivin.
i agree
I actually do!
Never bent a piece of metal or drew a drop of blood.
This song just never gets old.
It's fantastic.
Agreed.
Always listen to this. It'll always be a classic
I remember headed off camping with my step-dad, he had a whole bunch of burnt CDs; and when I picked the one that said "Sandstorm" on it, the 5th track was Copperhead Road. I'll never forget driving through the mountains listening to this legendary tune. The strums to me, are like a melody of freedom. Idk why. But it is.
This song just brings out the drunk outlaw
That's a savage ass memory. Hell yeah. Your step dad has good taste
Good song
That feeling in our chest when this song plays? That's your Scots-Irish ancestors calling us
Hell yeah I feel the same way
2020... yet another decade that will include Steve Earle
let’s do this 🤘👊
🙏👊
I remember this song along with Guitar Town from the '80s. Both mean a lot to me based on my childhood memories with my dad. I can remember him playing this on records that I actually still have. This is just great music!
One my favorite songs. Got some shine right now as well. Happy New Years from Texas
