James Taylor - Copperline Lyrics
Even the old folks never knewWhy they call it like they doI was wondering since the age of twoDown on copperlineCopper head, copper beechCopper kettles sitting side by eachCopper coil, cup ogeorgia peachDown on copperlineHalf a mile down to morgan creekLeaning heavy on the end of the weekHercules and a hog-nosed snakeDown on copperlineWe were down on copperlineOne summer night on the copperlineSlip away past supper timeWood smoke and moonshineDown on copperlineOne time I saw my daddy danceWatched him moving like a man in a tranceHe brought it back from the war in franceDown onto copperlineBranch water and tomato wineCreosote and turpentineSour mash and new moon shineDown on copperlineDown on copperlineFirst kiss ever I tookLike a page from a romance bookThe sky opened and the earth shookDown on copperlineDown on copperlineTook a fall from a windy heightI only knew how to hold on tightAnd pray for love enough to last all nightDown on copperlineDay breaks and the boys wakes upAnd the dog barks and the birds singsAnd the sap rises and the angels sigh, yeahI tried to go back, as if I couldAll spec house and plywoodTore up and tore up goodDown on copperlineIt doesnt come as a surprise to meIt doesnt touch my memoryMan Im lifting up and rising freeDown on over copperlineHalf a mile down to morgan creekIm only living for the end of the weekHercules and a hog-nosed snakeDown on copperline, yeahTake me down on copperlineOh, down on copperlineTake me down on copperline
