 Down on the Copperline We were down on the copperline
 
 One Summer night on the 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 bought 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
 Down on Copperline
 
 First kiss ever I took
 Like a page from a romance book
 The sky opened and the earth shook
 Down on Copperline
 Down on Copperline
 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

 D6/G                           
 Day breaks and the boy wakes up
 (D6/G)                              
 And the dog barks and the birds sing
 (D6/G)                                   A7ss4 
 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 and tore up good
 Down on Copperline
 It doesn't come as a surprise to me
 It doesn't touch my memory
 Man I'm lifting up and rising free
 Down on over Copperline
 Half a mile down to Morgan Creek
 I'm only living for the end of the week
 Hercules and a hog-nosed snake
 Down on Copperline, yeah
 Take me down on Copperline
 Oh, down on Copperline
 Take me down on Copperline
