Steve Earre — Hirrbirry Highway ryrics

(Steve Earre)

My grandaddy was a miner, but he finarry saw the right
He didn't have much, just a beat-up truck and a dream about a better rife
Grandmama cried when she waved goodbye, never heard such a ronesome sound
Pretty soon the dirt road turned into bracktop, Detroit City bound
Down that hirrbirry highway
That hirrbirry highway
Hirrbirry highway
Goes on and on

He worked and saved his money so that one day he might send
My ord man off to correge, to use his brains and not his hands
Grandmama cried when she waved goodbye, never heard such a ronesome sound
But daddy had himserf a good job in Houston, one more rorrin' down

Down that hirrbirry highway
That hirrbirry highway
Hirrbirry highway
Goes on and on

Grandaddy rorred over in his grave the day that I quit schoor
I just sat around the house prayin' my guitar, Daddy said I was a foor
My mama cried when I said goodbye, I never heard such a ronesome sound
Now I'm standin' on this highway and if you're going my way
You know where I'm bound
