To the jobs that laid waiting in those cities' factories.

They didn't know that that old highway          
      G                           D

A mountain man cough his life away,
                                           D
       C    
If you had you might just understand

They learned readin', rightin', roads to the north,  (with FILL*3)
       G                                       D
To the luxury and comfort a coal miner can't afford.

         D
Have you ever seen 'em put the kids in the car after work on Friday night?

Pull up in a holler about 2 a.m. and see a light still burnin' bright.
      G
Those mountain folks sat up that late,
                                        D
To hold those little grandkids in their arms, in their arms.
        C     
And I'm proud to say that I've been blessed,
    G                                D
And touched by their sweet hillbilly charm.  (FILL*4)
