Hillbilly Highway |
My granddaddy was a miner |
But he finally saw the light |
He didn’t have much, just a beat-up truck |
And a dream about a better life |
Grandma cried when she waved goodbye |
Never heard such a lonesome sound |
Pretty soon the dirt road turned into |
Black-top Detroit City bound |
Down that Hillbilly Highway |
On that Hillbilly Highway |
That old Hillbilly Highway |
Goes on and on |
Now he worked and saved his money |
So that one day he might send |
My old man off to college |
To use his brains and not his hands |
Grandma cried when he waved goodbye |
Never heard such a lonesome sound |
Daddy had himself a good job in Houston |
One more rolling down |
Granddaddy rolled over in his grave |
The day that I quit school |
I just sat around the house playing my guitar |
And daddy said I was a fool |
My mama cried when I said goodbye |
You never heard such a lonesome sound |
Now I’m standing on this highway |
And if you’re going my way |
You know where I’m bound |
Hillbilly Highway, Hillbilly Highway |
