James Taylor - Copperline - live at the colonial theatre lyrics

Even the old folks never knew Why they call it like they do I was wonderin' since the age of two Down on Copperline Copperhead, copper beech Copper kettles sitting side by each Copper coil, cup o' Georgia peach Down on Copperline Half a mile down to Morgan Creek Leanin' 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, yeah 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 up And the dog barks and the birds sings 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, 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 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 Ohhh, down on Copperline Take me down on Copperline
