Hillbilly Highway Lyrics

Hillbilly Highway lyrics

My grandaddy 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 

That hillbilly highway 

Hillbilly highway 

Goes on and on 



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 hillbilly highway 

Hillbilly highway 

Goes on and on 



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, 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
