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