What was the name of the song used for the opening of Discovery Channel's show "Moonshiners"?

The opening theme song for Discovery Channels hit "reality" TV series Moonshiners is Copperhead Road by Steve Earl.

Copperhead Road is an actual road in Eastern Tennessee, it's said that it was used by moonshiners years ago, and drug smugglers a couple of generations later. The song tells the story of a soldier returning from Vietnam who begins trafficking in drugs there.

The TV series, it's been revealed, is not really reality, but is in fact staged, and is a dramatization of how events may occur in that area of the country. That hasn't hurt ratings, though, Moonshiners and Amish Mafia have been dominating prime time cable TV for the past 6 weeks on Wednesday nights.
