(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
