Steve Earle "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 Lyric from www.lyricmania.com |
