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
