Hillbilly Highway

My Grand Daddy 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 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



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 never heard such a lonesome sound

But Daddy had himself a good job in Houston; one more rolling down



[Repeat Chorus]



On and on and on.... here we go



Now Grandaddy 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

Ya never heard such a lonesome sound

Now I'm standin' on this highway, and if you're goin' my way

You know where I'm bound



[Repeat Chorus]



Mmmmm yeah, that's the road I'm on



Hiiiiiiillllll billy highway

Hiiiiiiillllll billy highway
