[00:11.42]My granddaddy was a miner, but he finally saw the light
[00:17.43]He didn't have much, just a beat-up truck and a dream about a better life
[00:23.13]Grand mama cried when she waved goodbye, never heard such a lonesome sound
[00:29.14]Pretty soon the dirt road turned into blacktop, Detroit City bound
[00:33.92]Down that hillbilly highway
[00:40.12]On that hillbilly highway
[00:45.20]That old hillbilly highway
[00:50.77]Goes on and on
