Steve Earle - Copperhead road album cover
 Copperhead Road is an American country music/country rock album released in 1988 by Steve Earle.

The title song refers to an actual location in Mountain City, Tennessee. It concerns a Vietnam veteran who turns from his family tradition of moonshining to growing marijuana. (It also inspired a popular line dance timed to the beat of the song.)

The album makes Earle's politics clear: the title track attacks the War on Drugs, and the song "Snake Oil" compares the then president, Ronald Reagan, to a traveling con man. Both "Copperhead Road" and "Johnny Come Lately" (performed with The Pogues) refer to the Vietnam War. "Back to the Wall" is about poverty, and "The Devil's Right Hand" can be read as advocating gun control. (Earle has always stressed that the song is ambivalent on the issue).

However, unlike some issues-oriented musicians, Earle doesn't limit himself to political material, but also includes apolitical works such as the love song "Even When I'm Blue" and the religious piece "Nothing but a Child".

More recently Shawn Mullins, a fond admirer and songwriter, has been playing "Copperhead Road".
