[Verse 1]
My granddaddy 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
[Chorus]
Down that hillbilly highway
On that hillbilly highway
That old hillbilly highway
Goes on and on
[Verse 2]
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 he said goodbye
You never heard such a lonesome sound
Daddy had himself a good job in Houston
One more rolling down
My granddaddy 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
[Chorus]
Down that hillbilly highway
On that hillbilly highway
That old hillbilly highway
Goes on and on
[Verse 2]
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 he said goodbye
You never heard such a lonesome sound
Daddy had himself a good job in Houston
One more rolling down
