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, never heard such a lonesome sound Pretty soon the dirt road turned into blacktop, Detroit City bound Down that hillbilly highway That hillbilly highway Hillbilly highway Goes on and on He worked and saved his money so that one day he might send My old man 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 hillbilly highway That hillbilly highway Hillbilly highway Goes on and on 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

Best highway to take and there aint no short cuts, it’s hard drivin’!!!
Go Steve Earle!
Naw he would listen to rap. Maybe dancehall
Amen brother!
hell yeah it does. friggin telecasters, man! greatest instrument ever invented.
Amen! Best comment ever! Praise the lord and pass the ammo!
I’m not american but my parents were country-people (peasant) , but for me, USA is not USA without you rednecks. You roxx! Love so much american country, from Switzerland.
And we didint grow up with everthing given to us like rich people.
Excellent album from Steve Earle! Great road music as well.
All you need to do is listen to or read a couple interviews with Steve Earle, or listen to songs like Back to the Wall, to see that he agrees with pencert. Earle is a socialist and says he has been one since he was a teenager.
Yeah you’re right, my comment was a little nasty, and I don’t mean any offense to rural people, workers, or any blue collar hard-working americans. I just believe it’s ignorant to say that everybody on food stamps or social assistance is lazy. There are honest to goodness places in the US of A where a farmer can’t grow a crop cause of drought or an autoplant that employs half the town leaves and there’s really just not enough to go around. Sure, some people abuse welfare. Some feed their kids.
excuse us, your obiously much better than us and above us little shits. go deal with globalization if its so fuckin scary
You’re just some dumb uneducated good ol’ boy who doesn’t realize that many people in the U.S. and all of the world are suffering from rapid globalization and technological issues that no one is really prepared to understand. You can think that your B.S. down home wisdom regarding hard work and the governments role in the world is sacred, but really you’re just behind the times buddy.
oooooooooohhhhh hit nerve didn’t I,you must me one of those lazy parasite bloodsuckers stealin for the workin people. you eatin dorito’s and suckin down red bull you bought with fooD stamps as your ENJOYIN THE SONG…
how bout you shut the f**k up with your repuglickin political drivel and enjoy the song? Is that asking too much nutjob?
don’t go spreadin your obama lies here……….EVERYBODY DOES NOT USE FOOD STAMPS WHEN THEIR BACKS ARE UP AGAINST THE WALL…..i’m 53 yr’s old and i work a job and a half and i ain’t never takin a dime from the scum gov’t.if i was to take a dime from the gov’t,i would be stealing from my brother tax payer’s.i’ve seen it all, lazy human trash gettin a( NUT CHECK) FROM THE GOV’T COZ THEY DON’T WANT TO WORK etc.
first time i heard this song i was about 4 my dad told me this was his theme song
Everybody uses food stamps when their back is up against a wall. Maybe if the big companies would bring back manufacturing jobs there would be more to go around, but when there aren’t enough jobs that means somebody somewhere is getting screwed.
So very good, what a twanging…
Gomer, East Working Arabs
@ZackAttack261

No actually cummins is there own company.
Cummins…the mess Strokin leaves behind but only because he had to Max it out by Torcing it! For those of you that dont understand that. Dodge: Cummins engine, Ford: Power Stroke, GMC(usually sometimes chevy): Duramax, Chevy: Vortec.
i listen to this song crusin around my town square in my tundra.
It Just gotta be American although I prefer Chevys it don’t really matter to me as long as it’s an American company ( chevy ford dodge)
The engines made for the Ford were made by the Dodge brothers before they decided to start their own automobile company in 1914.
hm ford vehicles were made before dodge… so i don’t think so lol
the first ford actually had a dodge made engine. but FORD STILL RULES.
atleast ford can make their own engines oooooooooo
Powerstrokes*
people who own cummins talking shit on Powrstokes… Who makes the Cummins Motor.. ? Oh that’s Right Ford Motor Company!!!
Kenworth with a Cat anyday over your overpriced piece of shit trucks why would I pay 80k for a truck when for the same amount of money I have a truck that can pull way more and get the same amount of fuel mileage
pretty boy trucks, sac up
