Intro
E
E
They learned readin', writin', Route 23
A E
To the jobs that lay waiting in those cities' factories
B
they didn't know that that old highway
A E
Could lead them to a world of misery
E
Have you ever been down Kentucky way
Say south of Prestonburg
Have you ever been up in a holler
Have you ever heard
A
B mountain man cough his life away
From diggin' that black coal
E
In those dark mines, those old dark mines
D
If you had you might just understand
A E
The reason that they left is all behind
Chorus:
E
'cause They learned readin', wrightin', Route 23
A E
To the jobs that lay waitin' in those cities' factories
They learned readin', writin', roads to the north
A E
To the luxury and comfort a coal miner can't afford
They thought readin', writin', Route 23
A E
Ah Would take them to the good life that they had never seen
B
They didn't know that old highway
A E
Could lead them to a world of misery
guitar solo: E B A E
E
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 shinin' bright
A
Those mountain folks sat up that late
to hold those little grandkids
E
In their arms, in their arms
D
And I'm proud to say that I've been blessed
A E
And touched by their sweet hillbilly charm
Chorus:
E
They learned readin', writin', Route 23
A E
To the jobs that lay waiting in those cities' factories
They learned readin', writin', roads to the north
A E
To the luxury and comfort a coal miner can't afford
They thought readin', writin', Route 23
A E
Oh Would take them to the good life that they had never seen
B
They didn't know that old highway
A E
Could lead them to a world of misery
B
Yeah, it turns out that that old highway,
A E
Leads you to a world of misery
