Hillbilly Rock                by Marty Stuart 

 
A
It comes from Mississippi and down in Alabam

Creeping like a fever all across the land 

From deep in the Delta on the Louisiana shore

The people got to have it they wanna hear some more

CHORUS
       D7
It's a Hillbilly Rock beat it with a drum
A
Playing that guitar like shooting from a gun
D
Keeping up the rhythm steady as a clock

E7                                       A
Doing a little thing called the Hillbilly Rock

A
Some say it came from Elvis down in Tennessee

Or It drifted here from Georgia bout 1953

Just as long as it's greasy as long as it's fast

As long as it's pumping honey it's gonna last

CHORUS

A
Way back in ole Kentucky where the blue grass grows

Through the Carolinas on the red dirt roads

Burning like a fire running wild in the woods

From Arkansas to Texas it sounds so good 

CHORUS

So when the heat starts to rise / you got a full head of steam

Take a ride down the river and you'll see just what I mean

The juke joint's jumping when that cat goes on
The whole place is shaking there's something going on 

CHORUS
