Great sounding song with presumably a 'cult following' but nobody in that cult says 'what the.....?' The lyrics and video are miles apart. It's like he didn't know anything about 'shine and growing weed...
I can see it now, a moonshiner wants to make up a batch of 'shine so he picks up a "hundred pounds of yeast and some copper line"
I ain't no brewmaster but a 100 pounds of yeast?.......................If you are distilling, literally the last thing you need is copper line - since those ready to run copper stills are laying everywhere in them woods..
Then in video as he is walking through shoulder high tobacco and sowing seeds at his feet from Columbia and Mexico..at 3:20
They tore that 40s Dodge from the Mason's Lodge auction down and turned it into a Big-Block Dodge..-- that's some serious NASCAR's roots 'shinner's there
Well my name's John Lee Pettimore
Same as my daddy and his daddy before
You hardly ever saw Grandaddy down here
He only come to town about twice a year
He'd buy a hundred pounds of yeast and some copper line
Everybody knew that he made moonshine
Now the revenue man wanted Grandaddy bad
Headed up the holler with everything he had
'Fore my time but I've been told
He never come back from Copperhead Road
Now Daddy ran whiskey in a big block Dodge
Bought it at an auction at the Mason's Lodge
Johnson County Sheriff painted on the side
Just shot a coat of primer then he looked inside
Well him and my uncle tore that engine down
I still remember that rumblin' sound
When the Sheriff came around in the middle of the night
Heard mama cryin', knew something wasn't right…
