My grandaddy was a miner
But he finally saw the light
Down that hillbilly highway
On Ttat hillbilly highway
That old Hillbilly highway
Goes on and on
Now he worked and saved his money so that one day he might send
My daddy off to college
Down that old hillbilly highway
That old hillbilly highway
That old Hillbilly highway
Goes on and on
SOLO
Now grandaddy rolled over in his grave the day that I quit school
I just sat around the house playin' my guitar,
That old Hillbilly highway
Goes on and on
