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

Written by：Dwight David Yoakam[00:00:02]

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

To the jobs that lay waiting in those cities' factories[00:00:09]

They learned readin' rightin' roads to the north[00:00:16]

To the luxury and comfort a coal line can't afford[00:00:22]

They thought readin' rightin' route 23[00:00:28]

Would take them to the good life that they had never seen[00:00:34]

They didn't know that old highway[00:00:43]

Could lead them to a world of misery[00:00:46]

Have you ever been down Kentucky way[00:00:55]

Say south of Preston burg[00:00:57]

Have you ever been up in a holler[00:01:00]

Have you ever heard[00:01:03]

A mountain man cough his life away[00:01:05]

From diggin' that black coal in those dark mines those dark mines[00:01:08]

If you had you might just understand[00:01:16]

The reason that they left is all behind[00:01:19]

They learned readin' rightin' route 23[00:01:27]

To the jobs that lay waiting in those cities' factories[00:01:32]

They learned readin' rightin' roads to the north[00:01:39]

To the luxury and comfort a coal line can't afford[00:01:45]

They thought readin' rightin' route 23[00:01:51]

Would take them to the good life that they had never seen[00:01:56]

They didn't know that old highway[00:02:06]

Could lead them to a world of misery[00:02:09]

Have you ever seen 'em put the kids in the car[00:02:17]

After work on Friday night[00:02:20]

Pull up in a holler about 2 a m[00:02:22]

And see a light still shinin' bright[00:02:25]

Those mountain folks sat up that late[00:02:28]

Just to hold those little grand kids in their arms in their arms[00:02:31]

And I'm proud to say that I've been blessed[00:02:39]

And touched by their sweet hillbilly charm[00:02:42]

They learned readin' rightin' route 23[00:02:49]

To the jobs that lay waiting in those cities' factories[00:02:55]

They learned readin' rightin' roads to the north[00:03:01]

To the luxury and comfort a coal line can't afford[00:03:07]

They thought readin' rightin' route 23[00:03:14]

Would take them to the good life that they had never seen[00:03:19]

They didn't know that old highway[00:03:29]

Could lead them to a world of misery[00:03:32]

It turns out that old highway leads you to a world of misery[00:03:39]

They found that old highway leads you to a world of misery[00:03:50]
