Hillbilly Highway

Lyrics

[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
