-- OR -- 
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
Down that .. hillbilly highway
On That ... hillbilly highway
That Ole .. Hillbilly highway
Goes on and on
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
Never heard such a lonesome sound
But daddy had himself a good job in Houston
One more rollin' down
That Ole hillbilly highway X3
Goes on and on ..................BREAK
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
You never heard such a lonesome sound
Now standin' on this highway
And if you're going my way
You know where I'm bound
Down that .. hillbilly highway
On That ... hillbilly highway
That Ole .. Hillbilly highway
Goes on and on .... yeah thats a rollin on
