Steve Earle - Hillbilly Highway Lyrics

Send "Hillbilly Highway" ringtone to your cell

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

Never heard such a lonesome sound

Pretty soon the dirt road turned into blacktop Detroit City bound

Down that Hillbilly Highway

Oh 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

Never heard such a lonesome sound

But Daddy had himself a good job in Houston one more rollin' down

Down that Hillbilly Highway

That old Hillbilly Highway

That old Hillbilly Highway

Goes on and on

On and on and on here we go

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

Down that Hillbilly Highway

On that Hillbilly Highway

That old Hillbilly Highway

Goes on and on

Mmm yeah that's the road I'm on

Hillbilly Highway

Hillbilly Highway
