Getting work ain't easy in the hills of Tennessee But things are bad all over my friends keep telling me Even though I grew up there and never thought I'd leave Had too many bills to pay, seven mouths to feed Movin' to the city was all that I could do Got them hillbilly blues People here won't say goodmorning, they won't even take the time I guess I know just how it feels to have something on your mind So all I want is to go back home and fish in a mountain stream This ol' life I'm living, Lord, you know it ain't for me They say the sun it shines out here, but all I see is rain Got them hillbilly blues Got them hillbilly blues All I want is to go back home and fish in a mountain stream This ol' life I'm living, Lord, you know it ain't for me They say the sun it shines out here, but all I see is rain Got them hillbilly blues Hillbilly blues Hillbilly blues
