Hillbilly Highway

Lyrics for 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 Grand mama cried when she waved Goodbye, never heard such a lonesome sound Pretty soon the dirt road turned into blacktop, 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 Grand mama cried when she waved Goodbye, never heard such a lonesome sound But daddy had himself a good job in Houston, one more rollin' down That old hillbilly highway That old hillbilly highway That old hillbilly highway Goes on and on On and on, on and on Here it goes 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 I said goodbye, I never heard such a lonesome sound Now I'm standin' on this highway and if you're going my way You know where I'm bound Bound that hillbilly highway On that hillbilly highway That old hillbilly highway Goes on and on Hmm, yeah that's the road I'm on it Hillbilly highway Hillbilly highway
