Song lyrics
(Jimbeau Hinson - Steve Earle)

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 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
To use his brains and not his hands.

Grandmama cried when she waved goodbye
Never heard such a lonesome sound.
But daddy had himself a good job in Houston
One more rollin' down.

Down that old hillbilly highway
That old hillbilly highway
That old Hillbilly highway
Goes on and on.

--- Instrumental ---

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,
I never heard such a lonesome sound.
Now I'm standin' on this highway
And if you're going my way
You know where I'm bound.

Down that old hillbilly highway
That old hillbilly highway
That old Hillbilly highway
Goes on and on...

--- Instrumental ---

Hillbilly highway, hillbilly highway
Hillbilly highway...
