hilbilly road

john williamson

i've taken you away from all your friends

your family is all around the world

i led you off to hillbilly road

to horseflies and lizards

but i've opened up your eyes to what we were

taken you back to nature

not clean

not ordered

in fact

it's outta control

hillbilly road

the bush is out of sight

the world has got so make-believe

you're gonna die of fright

when you're walking in the tall grass or the forest at night

but hillbilly road is holding on tight

sometimes it doesn't rain

then it rains too much

but little troubles go away

when we touch

hillbilly road

the bush is out of sight

the world has got so make-believe

you're gonna die of fright

when you're walking in the tall grass or the forest at night

but hillbilly road is holding on tight

it's holding onto freedom

to be the way it is

it's holding onto what we all are losing

the world is preoccupied with making us all alike

but hillbilly road is holding on tight

hillbilly road

the bush is out of sight

the world has got so virtual

you're gonna die of fright

when you're walking in the tall grass or the forest at night

but hillbilly road is holding on tight

hillbilly road
