DGetting work ain't easy Cin the hills of TennesseeD  
DBut things are bad all over Cmy friends keep telling meD  
CEven though I grew up there and never Gthought I'd leave

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
