Readin', Rightin', RT.23 Lyrics

Dwight Yoakam - Readin', Rightin', Rt.23 (tab)
D = xx0232 G = 320003
A = x02220 C = x32010
They learned readin', rightin', Route 23,
To the jobs that laid waiting in those cities' factories.
They didn't know that that old highway
Could lead them to a world of misery. (FILL*1)
Have you ever been down Kentucky way,
Say south of Prestonsburg?
Have you ever been up in a holler,
Or have you ever heard
A mountain man cough his life away,
If you had you might just understand
The reason that they left it all behind. (FILL*2)
'Cause they learned readin', rightin', Route 23, (with FILL*3)
To the jobs that laid waiting in those cities' factories.
They learned readin', rightin', roads to the north, (with FILL*3)
To the luxury and comfort a coal miner can't afford.
They thought readin', rightin', Route 23, (with FILL*3)
Would take them to the good life that they had never seen. (FILL*1)
They didn't know that that old highway
Could lead them to a world of misery.
LEAD GUITAR SOLO
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 burnin' bright.
Those mountain folks sat up that late,
To hold those little grandkids in their arms, in their arms.
And I'm proud to say that I've been blessed,
And touched by their sweet hillbilly charm. (FILL*4)
But they learned readin', rightin', Route 23, (with FILL*3)
To the jobs that laid waiting in those cities' factories.
They learned readin', rightin', roads to the north, (with FILL*3)
To the luxury and comfort a coal miner can't afford.
They thought readin', rightin', Route 23, (with FILL*3)
Would take them to the good life that they had never seen. (FILL*1)
They didn't know that that old highway
Could lead them to a world of misery. (FILL*5)
Yeah, it turns out that that old highway
Could lead you to a world of misery. (FILL*6)
