James Taylor - Copperline lyrics

Album: New Moon Shine (1991)

Even the old folks never knew
Why they call it like they do
I was wonderin since the age of two
Down on Copperline
Copper head, 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 & 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 & 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 & tomato wine
Creosote & turpentine
Sour mash & new moon shine
Down on Copperline
Down on Copperline

1st kiss, ever I took
Like a page from a romance book
The sky opened & the earth shook
Down on Copperline
Down on Copperline, yea
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 & the boy wakes up
And the dog barks & the birds sings
And the sap rises & the angels sigh, yea

I tried to go back, as if I could
All spec house & 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 am lifting up & rising free
Down over Copperline
Half a mile down to Morgan Creek
I am only living for the end of the week
Hercules & a hog-nosed snake
Down on Copperline, yea
Take me down on Copperline
Ohhh, down on Copperline
Take me down on Copperline
