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

You never heard such a lonesome sound

Pretty soon the dirt road turned into blacktop, Detroit City bound
A
Down that hillbilly highway

On Ttat hillbilly highway
D7
That old Hillbilly highway
A
Goes on and on
A
Now he worked and saved his money so that one day he might send

My daddy 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
A
Down that old hillbilly highway

That old hillbilly highway
D7
That old Hillbilly highway
A
Goes on and on

SOLO

A
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,

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 old hillbilly highway

That old hillbilly highway
D7
That old Hillbilly highway
A
Goes on and on
