Readin', Rightin', Rt. 23 (LP Version) - Dwight Yoakam[00:00:00]

They learned readin' rightin' Route 23[00:00:04]

To the jobs that lay waiting in those cities' factories[00:00:10]

They didn't know that old highway[00:00:16]

Could lead them to a world of misery[00:00:19]

Have you ever been down Kentucky-way[00:00:27]

Say south of Prestonburg[00:00:29]

Have you ever been up in a holler[00:00:32]

Have you ever heard[00:00:37]

A mountain man cough his life away[00:00:39]

From diggin' that black coal in those dark mines those dark mines[00:00:40]

If you had you might just understand[00:00:45]

The reason that they left is all behind[00:00:50]

Chorus:[00:00:54]

They learned readin' rightin' Route 23[00:00:55]

To the jobs that lay waiting in those cities' factories[00:01:03]

They learned readin' rightin' roads to the north[00:01:09]

To the luxury and comfort a coal line can't afford[00:01:15]

They thought readin' rightin' Route 23[00:01:20]

Would take them to the good life that they had never seen[00:01:27]

They didn't know that old highway[00:01:32]

Could lead them to a world of misery[00:01:37]

Have you ever seen 'em put the kids in the car after work on Friday night[00:01:42]

Pull up in a holler about 2 a m and see a light still shinin' bright[00:02:02]

Those mountain folks sat up that late[00:02:06]

Just to hold those little grandkids in their arms in their arms[00:02:10]

And I'm proud to say that I've been blessed[00:02:15]

And touched by their sweet hillbilly charm[00:02:22]

Chorus:[00:02:25]

They learned readin' rightin' Route 23[00:02:25]

To the jobs that lay waiting in those cities' factories[00:02:34]

They learned readin' rightin' roads to the north[00:02:37]

To the luxury and comfort a coal line can't afford[00:02:45]

They thought readin' rightin' Route 23[00:02:52]

Would take them to the good life that they had never seen[00:02:56]

They didn't know that old highway[00:03:02]

Could lead them to a world of misery[00:03:09]

Yeah it turns out that that old highway leads you to a world of misery[00:03:16]
