Hillbilly Highway

[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

She'd 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 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 she waved goodbye

You nevеr heard such a lonesome sound

But Daddy had himsеlf a good job in Houston

One more rollin' down

[Chorus]

That old Hillbilly Highway

On that Hillbilly Highway

That old Hillbilly Highway

Goes on and on

On and on and on

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]

Now Granddaddy rolled over in his grave

The day that I quit school

I just sat around the house playin' my guitar

Daddy said I was a fool

My mama cried when she said goodbye

You never heard such a lonesome sound

But now I'm standin' on this highway

And if you're goin' 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

Mm, on and on and on

[Outro]

Hillbilly Highway

Hillbilly Highway

Down that Hillbilly Highway
