Well my name's John Lee Pettimore
Same as my daddy and his daddy before
You hardly ever saw Grandaddy down here
He only came to town about twice a year
Everybody knew that he made moonshine
Now the revenue man wanted Grandaddy bad
He headed up the holler with everything he had
'Fore my time but I've been told
Now daddy ran the 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
Well the sheriff came around in the middle of the night
Heard mama cryin' knew something wasn't right
He was headed down to Knoxville with the weekly load
I volunteered for the Army on my birthday
They draft the white trash first 'round here anyway
I done two tours of duty in Vietnam
And I came home with a brand new plan
I take the seed from Colombia and Mexico
I wake up screaming like I'm back over there
I learned a thing or two from Charlie don't you know
