JAMES TAYLOR - Copperline lyrics

rate me

Even the old folks never knew

Why they call it like they do

I was wondering since the age of two

Down on copperline

Copper headcopper beech

Copper kettles sitting side by each

Copper coilcup o'georgia peach

Down on copperline

Half a mile down to morgan creek

Leaning heavy on the end of the week

Hercules and a hog-nosed snake

Down on copperline

We were down on 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 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

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

Day breaks and the boys wakes up

And the dog barks and the birds sings

And the sap rises and the angels sighyeah

I tried to go backas 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 copperlineyeah

Take me down on copperline

Ohdown on copperline

Take me down on copperline
