[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
