Copperheads

[Verse] In the backwoods by the river bend, Where the copperheads slither in the grass again, Under the glow of a Tennessee moon, I learned life’s lessons all too soon. [Verse 2] Daddy said, "Boy, always stand tall, Integrity's the key, through it all." In that small town, we knew what it meant, To live by the code, never to relent. [Chorus] Integrity and service, that's our creed, With excellence sowed like a farmer's seed. In this country heart, our roots run deep, Holding true to promises we keep. [Verse 3] The old church steeple reaching high, Taught us to aim for the sky. Service before self, that’s the way, From dawn's first light to the end of day. [Bridge] We gather 'round, singing old hymn lines, Feeling the warmth of simpler times. With every note, we honor those, Who live by the virtues that they chose. [Chorus] Integrity and service, that's our creed, With excellence sowed like a farmer's seed. In this country heart, our roots run deep, Holding true to promises we keep.
