Hillbilly Highway

	  		
verse 1 

G                                        C       G 
My granddaddy was a miner but he finally saw the light 

He didn't have much just a beat up truck 
                    C      G 
And a dream about a better life 

Gran mamma cried when she waved goodbye 
                       C        G 
You never heard such a lonesome sound 

Pretty soon the dirt road tuned to blacktop 
        C    G 
Detroit city bound 


Chorus 

C         G     C     G 
Down that Hill..billy Highway 
C       G     C     G 
On that Hill..billy Highway 
C        G     C                           G 
That old Hill..billy Highway,   Goes on and on 


verse 2 

G                                                 C        G 
Now he worked and saved his money so that one day he might send 
                                               C       G 
My old man off to college to use his brain and not his hands 
  
Gran mama cried when she said goodbye 
                       C        G 
You never heard such a lonesome sound 

But daddy had himself a good job in Houston  
         C       G 
One more rolling down 


Chorus 

C        G     C     G 
That old Hill..billy Highway 
C        G     C     G 
That old Hill..billy Highway 
C        G     C                            G 
That old Hill..billy Highway,  rolls on and on 


verse 3 

G                                                   C      G 
Now granddaddy rolled over in hi grave the day that I quit school 
                                                              C       G 
I just sat around the house playing my guitar, my daddy said "I was a fool!" 
  
My mama cried when I said goodbye  
                     C        G 
I never heard such a lonesome sound 

Now I'm standing on the highway and if your going my way 
         C         G 
You know we're I'm bound 


Chorus 

C         G     C     G 
Down that Hill..billy Highway 
C        G     C     G 
That old Hill..billy Highway 
C        G     C                          G 
That old Hill..billy Highway rolls on and on
