Lyrics
Headin on down the highway, headed for Kentucky
Gonna stock in Louisville and Lexington too
Gonna head on down to Hazard to see my cousins too
I'm a coal miners grandboy, on both sides
Some men went down deep, some never made it back alive
But recognize, that it's me, I am back at 43, here I am, on my own, and I left all the kids at home
Headin on down the highway, headed for Kentucky
I'm looking for Hardburley, a little town called Red Fox, gonna stop in Frankfort and Ft. Knox
I'm a coal miners grandboy, on both sides
My friend won't know me, my family wont recognize
But recognize that it's me, I am back at 43, here I am on my own, and I left all the kids at home
