Thread Name: Steve Earle Controversy
Subject: RE: Steve Earle Controversy
Well, Ebbie, I think you oughtta ask yer local newspaper to check out this thread and maybe they'd like to print it....
That'd get them couple of brownshirts off yer back...
And, yeah, I kinda been going thru a little Steve Earle dance in my head myseff since I'm playin' at a 4th o' July festival in downtown Luray next Monday an' I been thinkin' of doin' "Copperhead Road" and then goin' "Hey, Bobert, this is a conservative community... They ain't gonna go takin' tyo no pony-tailed newbee comin' in not only talkin' about growing dope but messin' up some DEA agents if they interfer....
Joined the Army on my birthday
They draft the white trash 'eround here anyway
Done two tours of duty in the Viet Nam
And I come home with a brand new plan
Take the seeds from Coplumbia and Mexico
And plant 'um in the holler down Copperhead Road...
Well the DEA's got a chopper in the air
Wake up screamin' like I'm back over there
But I learned a thing from Charlie don't ya know
Better stay away from Copperhead Road....
Yeah, think I'll see what the crowd looks like and then make my decision on it... Heck, I'm only on fir 45 minutes so I'm purdy flexible....
