The Road Hammers, Colt Ford - Hillbilly Highway lyrics
[The Road Hammers, Colt Ford - 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
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
