Hillbilly Rock lyrics by Marty Stuart
HILLBILLY ROCKIT COMES FROM MISSISSIPPI AN' DOWN IN ALABAM
CREEPING LIKE FEVER ALL ACROSS THE LAND
FROM DEEP IN THE DELTA ON THE LOUISIANA SHORE
THE PEOPLE GOT TO HAVE IT THEY WANNA HEAR SOME MORE
CHORUS
IT'S THE HILLBILLY ROCK BEAT IT WITH A DRUM
PLAYIN' THEIR GUITARS JUST LIKE SHOOTIN' FROM A GUN
KEEPIN' UP THE RHYTHM STEADY AS A CLOCK
DOIN' A LITTLE THING CALLED THE HILLBILLY ROCK
SOME SAY IT CAME FROM MEMPHIS DOWN IN TENNESSEE
OR IT DRIFTED IN FROM GEORGIA 'BOUT NINETEEN FIFTY THREE
JUST AS LONG AS IT'S BREEZY AS LONG AS IT'S FAST
AS LONG AS IT'S PUMPIN' HONEY IT'S GONNA LAST
CHORUS
INSTRUMENTAL BREAK
WAY BACK IN OLD KENTUCKY WHERE THE BLUEGRASS GROWS
THROUGH THE CAROLINAS ON THE DIRT RED ROADS
BURNING LIKE A FIRE RUNNING WILD IN THE WOODS
FROM ARKANSAS TO TEXAS IT SOUNDS SO GOOD
CHORUS
SO WHEN THE HEAT STARTS TO RISE AND YOU'VE GOTTA BLOW SOME STEAM
TAKE A RIDE DOWN THE RIVER YOU'LL SEE JUST WHAT I MEAN
THE JUKE JOINT'S JUMPIN' WHEN THAT CAT GOES ON
THE WHOLE PLACE IS SHAKIN' THERE'S A SOMETHIN' GOIN' ON
CHORUS
REPEAT LAST LINE TWICE
