Hillbilly Highway

[Intro] Woo [Verse 1] 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 Grandmama cried when she waved goodbye You never heard such a lonesome sound Pretty soon the dirt road turned into blacktop Detroit City bound [Chorus] Down that hillbilly highway On that hillbilly highway That old hillbilly highway Goes on and on [Verse 2] Now he worked and he saved his money So that one day he might send My old man off to college To use his brains and not his hands Grandmama cried when he said goodbye You never heard such a lonesome sound Daddy had himself a good job in Houston One more rolling down [Chorus] That old hillbilly highway That old hillbilly highway That old hillbilly highway Goes on and on On and on and on Here we go [Guitar Break] [Verse 3] Now 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 [Chorus] Down that hillbilly highway On that hillbilly highway That old hillbilly highway Goes on and on Mmm yeah that's the road I'm on [Outro] Hillbilly highway Hillbilly highway
