Song Lyrics

Ever listen to a song a hundred times and suddenly figure out what it is about?
From Steve Earle's Copperhead Road Lyrics from the last stanza I just realized that the song is about his decision that there is more money in growing cannabis than moonshine:

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 plant it up the holler down Copperhead Road
Well the D.E.A.'s got a chopper in the air
I wake up screaming like I'm back over there
I learned a thing or two from ol' Charlie don't you know
You better stay away from Copperhead Road

It is a great song if you've never heard it.
