E--2>3-------------3--------

(1)
(Ab)My Grandaddy was a miner but he,
    finally(Db)saw the(Ab)light.
(Ab)He didnt have much but a beatup truck,
    and a dream about a(Db)better(Ab)life.
(Ab)Grandmama cried when she waved goodbye,
    You never heard such a(Db)lonesome(Ab).
(Ab)Perty soon the dirt road turned into blacktop,
    DeTroit(Db)city(Ab)bound.
(Db)Down that hill(AB)billy highway.
(Db)on that hill(Ab)billy highway.
(Db)that ol hill(Ab)billy highway.
(Db)Goes on and on.
(2)
Now he worked and he saved his money,
So one day he might send.
My old man off to colledge,
To use his brain and not his hands.
Grandma cried when he said goodbye,
You never heard such a lonesome sound
Daddy had a good job,down in houstin,
One more rollin down
That ol hilllbilly highway
That ol hillbilly highway 
Goes on and on.on and on and on
(SOLO)
*Basically same as intro*
(3)
Now Grandaddy rolled over in his grave,
The day that I quit school.
I sat around the house playin' my guitar,
Daddy said I was a fool.
My Mamma cried when I said goodbye,
You never heard such a lonesome sound.
Now i'm standin' on this highway,
And if your goin' my way.
(Db)Down that hill(AB)billy highway.
(Db)on that hill(Ab)billy highway.
(Db)that ol hill(Ab)billy highway.
(Db)Goes on and on.
*play off intro again*
*has more bends*
You know where i'm bound.
