Daddy
hauled concrete six days ‘til sundown
I
listened to him talk as we rode all through town
I
was raised up strong by the code of the hill
He
said, some things you won’t get but the others you will
Son,
learn what matters and then learn what won’t
'Cause
there are HILLBILLY DO’S AND DON’TS
He
said, love your Mama along with God and moonshine
Fam'ly
sure runs deeper than a dark coal mine
Don't
sell out 'cause this is who you are
An'
don’t forget our flag means more than stripes and stars
Things're
plain and simple down these ‘ole dirt roads
If
you know the HILLBILLY DO’S AND DON’TS
Now,
wherever I go my heart’s back in those hills
Every
small town takes me back
Cause
they're the first to wave the ‘ole flag
An'
these roots run deeper than the mud beneath my boots
Without'em
I'd loose, everything, that's true
I
didn’t know back then, what I was in for
What
Daddy said wasn't workin’ everywhere I'd go
But
these days I’m proud of the labels put on me
An'
there’s a whole lot more inside, that y'all can’t see
Well,
some folks will and some folks they won’t
Get
the HILLBILLY DO’S AND DON’TS
I
guess some folks will and some folks just won’t
Get
the HILLBILLY DO’S AND DON’TS
Back to
Lyrics
