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