[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 Now he worked and saved his money C G 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 Now granddaddy rolled over in hi grave C G the day that I quit school I just sat around the house playing my guitar, C G 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
