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,

One more rollin down

Goes on and on.on and on and on

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.

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.
