Have you ever been down Kentucky way
Say south of Prestonburg
Have you ever been up in a holler
Have you ever heard

From diggin' that black coal

F#
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
B
Those mountain folks sat up that late
to hold those little grandkids
F#
In their arms, in their arms
E
And I'm proud to say that I've been blessed
B F#
And touched by their sweet hillbilly charm

They learned readin', writin', roads to the north
B F#
To the luxury and comfort a coal miner can't afford
They thought readin', writin', Route 23
B F#
Oh Would take them to the good life that they had never seen

They didn't know that old highway
B F#
Could lead them to a world of misery
C#
Yeah, it turns out that that old highway,
B F#
Leads you to a world of misery
