Hillbilly Highway

Steve Earle

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 Gran mamma cried when she waved goodbye You never heard such a lonesome sound Pretty soon the dirt road tuned to blacktop Detroit city bound Chorus Down that Hill..billy Highway On that Hill..billy Highway That old Hill..billy 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 brain and not his hands Gran mama cried when she said goodbye You never heard such a lonesome sound But daddy had himself a good job in Houston One more rolling down Chorus That old Hill..billy Highway That old Hill..billy Highway That old Hill..billy Highway, rolls on and on verse 3 Now granddaddy rolled over in hi grave the day that I quit school I just sat around the house playing my guitar, my daddy said "I was a fool!" My mama cried when I said goodbye I never heard such a lonesome sound Now I'm standing on the highway and if your going my way You know we're I'm bound Chorus Down that Hill..billy Highway That old Hill..billy Highway That old Hill..billy Highway rolls on and on
