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
