My granddaddy was a miner and a bug, 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.
Very soon the dirt road turned into blacktop Detroit city fast.
Down that hill, belly highway, that old hill, belly highway.
That old hill, belly [Db] highway, [Ab] goes on out, out of work, down to save money.
So one day he might say, my old man, all college youth brains in his hand.
Grandmama cried when she waved goodbye, you never heard such a lonesome sound.
But daddy had himself a good job, but he's still one more rolling down,
down that old hill, belly highway, that old hill, belly highway.
[Db] That old [Ab] hill, belly highway, goes [Ab] on out, out, out, out.
Here we go, my
[Db]
granddaddy rolled over in his grave one day, and I quit school.
I just sat around the house playing my guitar, daddy said, oh, oh, oh.
My mama cried when she waved goodbye, you never heard such a lonesome sound.
Now standing on this highway, if you're going my way, you know where I'm bound.
Down that hill, belly highway, that old [Ab] hill, belly highway.
That old hill, belly [Db] highway, goes on out, yeah, [Gb] pretty mama, let's roll [Ab] out.
