LYRICS
Copperline by James Taylor and Reynolds Price
Even the old folks never knew
Why they call it like they do
I was wondering since the age of two
Down on Copperline
Copperhead, copper beech
Copper kettle sitting side by each
Copper coil, cup o’ Georgia peach
Down on Copperline
Half a mile down to Morgan Creek
I’m only living till the end of the week
Hercules and a hognose snake
Down on Copperline
Take me down on Copperline
Warm summer night, Copperline
Slip away past suppertime
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 on Copperline
Branch water and tomato wine
Creosote and turpentine
Sour mash and new moonshine
Down old 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
Walk me 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 bird sings
And the sap rises and the angels sigh
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
