Readin', Rightin', Rt. 23 - Dwight Yoakam |
| [00:04.87] |
They learned readin' rightin' Route 23 |
| [00:10.47] |
To the jobs that lay waiting in those cities' factories |
| [00:16.78] |
They didn't know that old highway |
| [00:19.18] |
Could lead them to a world of misery |
| [00:27.67] |
Have you ever been down Kentucky-way |
| [00:29.47] |
Say south of Prestonburg |
| [00:32.90] |
Have you ever been up in a holler |
| [00:37.28] |
Have you ever heard |
| [00:39.58] |
A mountain man cough his life away |
| [00:40.95] |
From diggin' that black coal in those dark mines those dark mines |
| [00:45.88] |
If you had you might just understand |
| [00:49.99] |
The reason that they left is all behind |
| [00:54.51] |
Chorus: |
| [00:55.39] |
They learned readin' rightin' Route 23 |
| [01:03.96] |
To the jobs that lay waiting in those cities' factories |
| [01:09.30] |
They learned readin' rightin' roads to the north |
| [01:15.68] |
To the luxury and comfort a coal line can't afford |
| [01:20.96] |
They thought readin' rightin' Route 23 |
| [01:27.07] |
Would take them to the good life that they had never seen |
| [01:32.34] |
They didn't know that old highway |
| [01:37.83] |
Could lead them to a world of misery |
| [01:42.11] |
Have you ever seen 'em put the kids in the car after work on Friday night |
| [02:02.78] |
Pull up in a holler about 2 a m and see a light still shinin' bright |
| [02:06.88] |
Those mountain folks sat up that late |
| [02:10.03] |
Just to hold those little grandkids in their arms in their arms |
| [02:15.00] |
And I'm proud to say that I've been blessed |
| [02:22.14] |
And touched by their sweet hillbilly charm |
| [02:25.26] |
Chorus: |
| [02:25.58] |
They learned readin' rightin' Route 23 |
| [02:34.14] |
To the jobs that lay waiting in those cities' factories |
| [02:37.62] |
They learned readin' rightin' roads to the north |
| [02:45.08] |
To the luxury and comfort a coal line can't afford |
| [02:52.01] |
They thought readin' rightin' Route 23 |
| [02:56.96] |
Would take them to the good life that they had never seen |
| [03:02.26] |
They didn't know that old highway |
| [03:09.06] |
Could lead them to a world of misery |
| [03:16.38] |
Yeah it turns out that that old highway leads you to a world of misery |
