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
