(Gary Rossington - Ed King - Johnny Van Zant - Mike Estes)



Getting work ain't easy in the hills of Tennessee 

But things are bad all over my friends keep telling me 

Even though I grew up there and never thought I'd leave 

Had too many bills to pay, seven mouths to feed 

Movin' to the city was all that I could do 

Got them hillbilly blues



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 



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 

Hillbilly blues 

Hillbilly blues
