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
