Copperline (Live at the Colonial Theatre)
This is another song about North Carolina
About red dirt and pine needles and turpentine
Something called Tornado Wine, Alegra, I dunno
Even the old folks never knew
Why they call it like they do
I was wonderin' 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 mile down to Morgan Creek
I'm only livin' 'til the end of the week
Hercules and a hog-nosed snake
Down on Copperline
Take me down on Copperline
Warm summer night, Copperline
Slip away past supper time
Wood smoke 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 mash and new moon shine
Down on Copperline
Take me down on Copperline
Oh, first kiss, ever I took
Stole a page from a romance book
The sky opened and the earth shook
Down on Copperline, broke it down
I 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
And the dog barks and the birds sings
And the sap rises and the angels sigh, yeah
I tried to go back as if I could
All spec house and plywood
Tore up, tore up good
Down on Copperline
It doesn't come as a surprise to me
It never touched my memory
Well I'm lifting up and rising free
Down over Copperline
Half a mile down to Morgan Creek
I'm only living 'til the end of the week
Hercules and a hog-nosed snake
Down on Copperline, oh
Copperline, keep her down on Copperline
Oh, down on Copperline
Take me back down on Copperline
Take me down on Copperline
About red dirt and pine needles and turpentine
Something called Tornado Wine, Alegra, I dunno
Even the old folks never knew
Why they call it like they do
I was wonderin' 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 mile down to Morgan Creek
I'm only livin' 'til the end of the week
Hercules and a hog-nosed snake
Down on Copperline
Take me down on Copperline
Warm summer night, Copperline
Slip away past supper time
Wood smoke 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 mash and new moon shine
Down on Copperline
Take me down on Copperline
Oh, first kiss, ever I took
Stole a page from a romance book
The sky opened and the earth shook
Down on Copperline, broke it down
I 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

And the dog barks and the birds sings
And the sap rises and the angels sigh, yeah
I tried to go back as if I could

I'm only living 'til the end of the week
Hercules and a hog-nosed snake
Down on Copperline, oh
Copperline, keep her down on Copperline
Oh, down on Copperline
Take me back down on Copperline
Take me down on Copperline
